T2‐Weighted T1 Mapping and Automated Segmentation of CSF: Assessment of Solute Gradients in the Healthy Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a medium for nutrient delivery and waste clearance. The T1 relaxation rate, R1, can be used to measure the concentration of intrinsic solutes and extrinsic contrast agents. Purpose To implement a method for R1 mapping and segmentation of CSF and to use this method to explore how R1 of CSF relates ...

Vanishing shortcoming and asymptotic relative efficiency [PDF]

, 2000
The shortcoming of a test is the difference between the maximal attainable power and the power of the test under consideration. Vanishing shortcoming, when the number of observations tends to infinity, is therefore an optimality property of a test. Other

Smoothed nonparametric two-sample tests

, 2017
We propose new smoothed median and the Wilcoxon's rank sum test. As is pointed out by Maesono et al.(2016), some nonparametric discrete tests have a problem with their significance probability. Because of this problem, the selection of the median and the
