Imperfect vaccines and imperfect models
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002Abstract A recent paper by Gandon et al. presents a model for how leaky vaccines can lead to evolutionary changes in the virulence of parasites. Whilst readers of some of the press reaction to this paper might be forgiven for thinking that it referred to certainties about actual malaria vaccines, there are currently no malaria vaccines beyond the ...

Tall, young, slim, bright, sporty, polite, athletic, controlled, musical, socially polished, good looking, sensible, and obedient, with straight white teeth: these traits of perfection are the aspirations of many parents and adults alike. And medicine is a candle to the perfect and perfectionism—a perfect degree, status, job, and career.

In this paper, we consider models of systems whose components have dependent lifelengths and are imperfectly repaired upon failure until they are scrapped. First, assuming that no more than one component can fail at a time, we study two models that describe imperfect repairs, and derive the resulting density and other probabilistic quantities of ...

Summary: Causal reasoning is important to human reasoning. It plays an essential role in day-to-day human decision-making. Human understanding of causality is necessarily imprecise, imperfect, and uncertain. Soft computing methods may be able to provide the approximation tools needed. In order to algorithmically consider causes, imprecise causal models
