rox: A Statistical Model for Regression with Missing Values
Metabolites, 2023 High-dimensional omics datasets frequently contain missing data points, which typically occur due to concentrations below the limit of detection (LOD) of the profiling platform.

Material Limitations on the Detection Limit in Refractometry [PDF]
, 2009 We discuss the detection limit for refractometric sensors relying on high-Q optical cavities and show that the ultimate classical detection limit is given by min{Dn} > eta with n+i*eta being the complex refractive index of the material under ...

Assessing Limit of Detection in Clinical Sequencing [PDF]
The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, 2021 Clinical reporting of solid tumor sequencing requires reliable assessment of the accuracy and reproducibility of each assay. Somatic mutation variant allele fractions may be below 10% in many samples due to sample heterogeneity, tumor clonality, and/or sample degradation in fixatives such as formalin.

Statistical limits of sparse mixture detection
Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2022 We consider the problem of detecting a general sparse mixture and obtain an explicit characterization of the phase transition under some conditions, generalizing the univariate results of Cai and Wu. Additionally, we provide a sufficient condition for the adaptive optimality of a Higher Criticism type testing statistic formulated by Gao and Ma.

Limits of Detecting Extraterrestrial Civilizations
, 2021 The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a scientific endeavor which struggles with unique issues -- a strong indeterminacy in what data to look for and when to do so. This has led to attempts at finding both fundamental limits of the communication between extraterrestrial intelligence and human civilizations, as well as benchmarks so as ...

Quantum-optical communication rates through an amplifying random medium [PDF]
, 2002 We study the competing effects of stimulated and spontaneous emission on the information capacity of an amplifying disordered waveguide. At the laser threshold the capacity reaches a "universal" limit, independent of the degree of disorder.

A comparison of DNA/RNA extraction protocols for high-throughput sequencing of microbial communities
BioTechniques, 2021 One goal of microbial ecology researchers is to capture the maximum amount of information from all organisms in a sample. The recent COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the RNA virus SARS-CoV-2, has highlighted a gap in traditional DNA-based protocols ...

Speciation without chromatography: Part 2. Determination of tributyltin by chloride generation flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry [PDF]
, 2002 A procedure is described for the quantitation of tributyltin in aqueous samples and extracts based on its relatively high volatility in halide media, permitting vapour phase sampling from the headspace above such samples.Tributyltin chloride (TBT-C1) was

Charge Detection in a Closed-Loop Aharonov-Bohm Interferometer [PDF]
, 2006 We report on a study of complementarity in a two-terminal "closed-loop" Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. In this interferometer, the simple picture of two-path interference cannot be applied.
