Appropriate Methodology of Statistical Tests According to Prior Probability and Required Objectivity [PDF]
In contrast to its common definition and calculation, interpretation of p-values diverges among statisticians. Since p-value is the basis of various methodologies, this divergence has led to a variety of test methodologies and evaluations of test results.

A pilot study of magnetic resonance fingerprinting in Parkinson's disease
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF)‐based T1 and T2 mapping can help identify Parkinson's disease patients based on regional relaxation time, but differs from standard mapping results. Disease severity could not be associated with relaxation times. T1 relaxation times differed most in cortical grey matter rather than in the basal ganglia. Parkinson'

An Analysis of a Heuristic Procedure to Evaluate Tail (in)dependence
Measuring tail dependence is an important issue in many applied sciences in order to quantify the risk of simultaneous extreme events. A usual measure is given by the tail dependence coefficient. The characteristics of events behave quite differently as these become more extreme, whereas we are in the class of asymptotic dependence or in the class of ...

Revisiting convergence and divergence: support for older people in Europe [PDF]
Recent commentators have distinguished ‘weak’ from ‘strong’ family societies, arguing that older people in less family-oriented societies receive less support from family members than those in countries with strong family ties (e.g.

Highly Accurate Timestamping for Ethernet‐Based Clock Synchronization
It is not only for test and measurement of great importance to synchronize clocks of networked devices to timely coordinate data acquisition. In this context the seek for high accuracy in Ethernet‐based clock synchronization has been significantly supported by enhancements to the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and the introduction of the Precision Time ...
