Probability, chance and the probability of chance

IIE Transactions, 2008
In our day-to-day discourse on uncertainty, words like belief, chance, plausible, likelihood and probability are commonly encountered. Often, these words are used interchangeably, because they are intended to encapsulate some loosely articulated notions about the unknowns.

The Language of Chance

International Statistical Review, 1997
SummaryPrior to 1654, the accepted date of the birth of the probability calculus, the publication of probabilistic calculations was very spotty. The few calculations that have been made are reviewed in David (1962), Coumet (1965), Hald (1990), Kendall (1956), Schneider (1988), and Todhunter (1865).

No Second Chance

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1972
I was in the emergency room and I wanted especially to learn at first hand the inner workings of the triage area.

Slater points out that the role of the triage nurse in an emergency room is to greet the patient, evaluate his problem ...

Topography of chance

Physical Review E, 2013
We present a model of multiplicative Langevin dynamics that is based on two foundations: the Langevin equation and the notion of multiplicative evolution. The model is a nonlinear mechanism transforming a white-noise input to a dynamic-equilibrium output, using a single control: an underlying convex U-shaped potential function. The output is quantified

chance to cut is a chance to cure

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2020
A rumenostomy is a quick and easy surgery that can help remedy recurrent bloat refractory to medical therapy. This clean-contaminated surgery is particularly useful among cattle experiencing chronic vagal indigestion, and is a common surgery performed in feedlot cattle. Preoperative analgesia should be provided; however, choice of antibiotic therapy is

Chance and Randomness

2011
Chance and randomness are usually considered as synonymous; however, they can have different meanings, in several scientific fields as in everyday contexts. In particular, chance has a broader scope than randomness, the latter being often interpreted according to more specific mathematical connotations. Broadly speaking, both are used to qualify events

The play of chance

Fertility and Sterility, 2006
Most randomized controlled trials are small relative to the clinical question they address, and chance causes more variability in the results of small trials. Thus, when small studies herald new treatment interventions, clinicians might wish to wait until the body of evidence is weighty and consistent enough to be convincing.
