Statistical methods in cosmology

, 2009
The advent of large data-set in cosmology has meant that in the past 10 or 20 years our knowledge and understanding of the Universe has changed not only quantitatively but also, and most importantly, qualitatively.

Statistical Methods in Anthropology

Nature, 1951
IN their interesting letter in Nature1 on statistical methods in anthropology, Dr. J. Bronowski and Mr. W. M. Long suggest that the reason why Prof. Zuckerman's findings were at odds with those based on classical comparisons was that he had compared each measurement separately instead of using the comprehensive test provided by the discriminant ...

Knowledge on Antibiotic Use, Self-Reported Adherence to Antibiotic Intake, and Knowledge on Multi-Drug Resistant Pathogens – Results of a Population-Based Survey in Lower Saxony, Germany

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
IntroductionAssessment of public awareness on antibiotic use and resistance can identify key issues for campaigns addressing these problems. Our aim was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) related to antibiotic use and multi-drug ...

New Results Regarding the Construction Method for D‑optimal Chemical Balance Weighing Designs

Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Oeconomica, 2020
We study an experiment in which we determine unknown measurements of p objects in n weighing operations according to the model of the chemical balance weighing design. We determine a design which is D‑optimal. For the construction of the D‑optimal design,

Nonparametric Statistical Methods

, 2010
Nonparametric methods are appropriate when certain assumptions about distributions that common parametric methods make are questionable. In this entry, we review nonparametric statistical tests based on exact or simulated sampling distributions. We also discuss methods for nonparametric data exploration and nonparametric regression and we explain ...

Using simulation studies to evaluate statistical methods [PDF]

, 2018
Simulation studies are computer experiments that involve creating data by pseudorandom sampling. The key strength of simulation studies is the ability to understand the behaviour of statistical methods because some 'truth' (usually some parameter/s of ...

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about
