Lognormal scale invariant random measures

In this article, we consider the continuous analog of the celebrated Mandelbrot star equation with lognormal weights. Mandelbrot introduced this equation to characterize the law of multiplicative cascades. We show existence and uniqueness of measures satisfying the aforementioned continuous equation; these measures fall under the scope of the Gaussian multiplicative chaos theory developed by J.P. Kahane in 1985 (or possibly extensions of this theory). As a by product, we also obtain an explicit characterization of the covariance structure of these measures. We also prove that qualitative properties such as long-range independence or isotropy can be read off the equation.Comment: 31 pages; Probability Theory and Related Fields (2012) electronic versio

Evaluation of Ohio's assisted living Medicaid waiver program : Report on program costs

This report is one among four that represents an evaluation of Ohio s Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver program. This report examines the costs and characteristics of those individuals who enrolled in the assisted living waiver program during its initial implementation. Assisted living resident characteristics (demographic and functional) are compared to Medicaid nursing home residents and PASSPORT enrollees. The costs of assisted living residents are compared to nursing home residents in the same region of the state
