REMOTE Ischemic Perconditioning Among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients in Catalonia: REMOTE-CAT PROJECT

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Rationale: Remote ischemic perconditioning during cerebral ischemia (RIPerC) refers to the application of brief episodes of transient limb ischemia commonly to a limb, it represents a new safe, simple and low-cost paradigm in neuroprotection.Aim and/or ...

A study of the score test in discrimination poisson and zero-inflated poisson models [PDF]

open access: yesActa Scientiarum. Technology, 2013
In many experimental situations the sample may present excess zero observations and generally are used probabilistic models for zero inflated to represent them. However no one knows precisely the amount of zero observations that these models support. Depending on the sample size and null observations number the Poisson model can be used.

Analysis of Count Data by Transmuted Geometric Distribution

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2019
Transmuted geometric distribution (TGD) was recently introduced and investigated by Chakraborty and Bhati [Stat. Oper. Res. Trans. 40 (2016), 153–176]. This is a flexible extension of geometric distribution having an additional parameter that determines ...

Boston Naming Test automatic credits inflate scores of nonaphasic mild dementia patients [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2015
The Boston Naming Test (BNT), a 60-item test of confrontation naming, may be administered either from Item 1 or Item 30, depending on assumptions of performance. If the BNT is administered from Item 30, 29 automatic credits are given for preceding items, allowing identical norms for either administration.

Zero-inflated Probability Models and Their Applications to the Analysis of Test Scores

open access: yesKodo Keiryogaku (The Japanese Journal of Behaviormetrics), 2009
Statistical analysis of the number of correct answers of a test consisting of n items will be considered in this article. A beta-binomial distribution is assumed to the model of the distribution of test scores in this article. For such test scores, the situation of extra zeros sometimes arises in practical applications.

The Source of Lake Wobegon

open access: yesNonpartisan Education Review, 2005
John J. Cannell's late 1980's “Lake Wobegon” reports suggested widespread deliberate educator manipulation of norm-referenced standardized test (NRT) administrations and results, resulting in artificial test score gains.

Zero-inflated quantile rank-score based test (ZIQRank) with application to scRNA-seq differential gene expression analysis

open access: yesThe Annals of Applied Statistics, 2021
Differential gene expression analysis based on scRNA-seq data is challenging due to two unique characteristics of scRNA-seq data. First, multimodality and other heterogeneity of the gene expression among different cell conditions lead to divergences in the tail events or crossings of the expression distributions. Second, scRNA-seq data generally have a
