In genomewide linkage scans for complex diseases involving many loci with small genetic effects, it may be the case that no loci reach conventional statistical significance. A complementary method of ...

Assessment of the effects of measurement error is challenging in part because the distribution of true pollutant concentrations throughout the airshed cannot be known ...

We consider the analysis of clustered data using linear mixed effects models and generalized estimating equations, where covariates can be decomposed into between- and within-cluster components. Under ...

Quantitative genetic analyses require extensive measurements of phenotypic traits, a task that is often not trivial, especially in wild populations. On top of instrumental measurement error, some ...

Errors such as noise cause a damping of the signal relative to the ideal case. Finite- rate quantum error correction can recover substantial parts of the lost signal ...

Pathologists from six institutions reviewed the slides of 40 patients who had a pulmonary specimen false-negative diagnosis. The initial assessment of error cause ...

Researchers have developed a new way to identify and correct for a type of systematic statistical error in large datasets. The error, known as a batch effect, crops ...

The quality of machined optical surfaces has drastically improved, thanks to the latest advances in diamond turning lathes. However, conditions that are not related to the geometry of the machine tool ...
