On the Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution [PDF]

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1945
Although the problem of an efficient estimation of the error in the normal approximation to the binominal distribution is classical, the many papers which are still being written on the subject show that not all pertinent questions have found a satisfactory solution.

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

A Generalization of the Hypergeometric Distribution

Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 2000
In this paper we introduce a modification of the hypergeometric distribution that caters for the case when the sampling scheme favours the inclusion of units of one of the two types involved, as opposed to the hypergeometric distribution under which all ...

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...

Efficient approximation of random fields for numerical applications [PDF]

, 2014
This article is dedicated to the rapid computation of separable expansions for the approximation of random fields. We consider approaches based on techniques from the approximation of non-local operators on the one hand and based on the pivoted Cholesky ...

Biphasic Clinical Course of Pediatric Cytomegalovirus‐Associated Immune Thrombocytopenia: Early Poor Treatment Response but Favorable Long‐Term Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a recognized trigger of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, its incidence and impact on disease course in children remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical course of pediatric patients with CMV‐associated ITP.

A refinement of normal approximation to Poisson binomial

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2005
Let X1,X2,…,Xn be independent Bernoulli random variables with P(Xj=1)=1−P(Xj=0)=pj and let Sn:=X1+X2+⋯+Xn. Sn is called a Poisson binomial random variable and it is well known that the distribution of a Poisson binomial random variable can be ...

Chemotherapy for Spinal Cord Intramedullary Pediatric Low‐Grade Glioma—A Systematic Literature Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

A Novel Method of Offset Approximation along the Normal Direction with High Precision

Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2017
A new algorithm is proposed for polynomial or rational approximation of the planar offset curve. The best rational Chebyshev approximation could be regarded as a kind of geometric approximation along the fixed direction.
