A Direct Approach to False Discovery Rates

Summary Multiple-hypothesis testing involves guarding against much more complicated errors than single-hypothesis testing. Whereas we typically control the type I error rate for...

Mutational heterogeneity in cancer and the search for new cancer-associated genes

Quantum theory, the Church–Turing principle and the universal quantum computer

It is argued that underlying the Church–Turing hypothesis there is an implicit physical assertion. Here, this assertion is presented explicitly as a physical principle: ‘every f...

Increased plant growth in the northern high latitudes from 1981 to 1991

The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by iron salts

[ Note by Dr. O. H. Wansbrough-Jones —Shortly before Professor Haber died, he gave the manuscript of this paper to Professor Sir William Pope. The final revision for the press h...

VIII. Stability of a viscous liquid contained between two rotating cylinders

In recent years much information has been accumulated about the flow of fluids past solid boundaries. All experiments so far carried out seem to indicate that in all cases stead...

Harmonized guidelines for single-laboratory validation of methods of analysis (IUPAC Technical Report)

Abstract Method validation is one of the measures universally recognized as a necessary part of a comprehensive system of quality assurance in analytical chemistry. In the past,...

The social context of well–being

Large samples of data from the World Values Survey, the US Benchmark Survey and a comparable Canadian survey are used to estimate equations designed to explore the social contex...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectra and redshifts

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250 000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observatio...

Bayes Estimates for the Linear Model

Summary The usual linear statistical model is reanalyzed using Bayesian methods and the concept of exchangeability. The general method is illustrated by applications to two-fact...

X. The Bakerian Lecture. —Experimental relations of gold (and other metals) to light

That wonderful production of the human mind, the undulatory theory of light, with the phenomena for which it strives to account, seems to me, who am only an experimentalist, to ...

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Releases 10 and 11 Galaxy samples

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Os...
