Impact of Reporting Delay and Reporting Error on Cancer Incidence Rates and Trends
Reporting-adjusted cancer incidence rates are valuable in precisely determining current cancer incidence rates and trends and in monitoring the timeliness of data collection. Ig...
On the Statistical Estimation of Parametric Frontier Production Functions
Direct and Cross Demand Elasticities in a Model with Many Sectors, Econometrica (Apr. 1959). Goldberger, A. S., Econometric Theory (New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1964). Jor...
Gene Expression Profile in Skeletal Muscle of Type 2 Diabetes and the Effect of Insulin Treatment
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by muscle insulin resistance. Nondiabetic first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients have also been reported to have insulin resistance....
The Simes Method for Multiple Hypothesis Testing With Positively Dependent Test Statistics
Abstract The Simes method for testing intersection of more than two hypotheses is known to control the probability of type I error only when the underlying test statistics are i...
Molecular Phylogeny of Northern Hemisphere Species of<i>Armillaria</i>
This study used polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing of double-stranded DNA to compare the intergenic region between the 3′ end of the 26S gene and the ...
Some probability inequalities for ordered $\rm MTP\sb 2$ random variables: a proof of the Simes conjecture
Some new probability inequalities involving the ordered components of an $MTP_2$ random vector are derived, which provide an analytical proof of an important conjecture in the f...
An inventory of 1152 expressed sequence tags obtained by partial sequencing of cDNAs from <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i><sup>†</sup>
As part of the goal to generate a detailed transcript map for Arabidopsis thaliana , 1152 single run sequences (expressed sequence tags or ESTs) have been determined from cDNA c...
The Phusion Assembler
The Phusion assembler has assembled the mouse genome from the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) dataset collected by the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium, at ∼7.5× sequence coverage,...
Patterned selective growth of carbon nanotubes and large field emission from vertically well-aligned carbon nanotube field emitter arrays
We have grown well-aligned carbon nanotube arrays by thermal chemical vapor deposition at 800 °C on Fe nanoparticles deposited by a pulsed laser on a porous Si substrate. We als...
