High-precision sampling for Brillouin-zone integration in metals
We present a sampling method for Brillouin-zone integration in metals which converges exponentially with the number of sampling points, without the loss of precision of normal b...
The Varimax Criterion for Analytic Rotation in Factor Analysis
An analytic criterion for rotation is defined. The scientific advantage of analytic criteria over subjective (graphical) rotational procedures is discussed. Carroll's criterion ...
Recommended diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis: Guidelines from the international panel on the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Abstract The International Panel on MS Diagnosis presents revised diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS). The focus remains on the objective demonstration of disseminat...
Toward defining the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease: Recommendations from the National Institute on Aging‐Alzheimer's Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease
The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is thought to begin many years before the diagnosis of AD dementia. This long “preclinical” phase of AD would provide ...
Recommendations for examining and interpreting funnel plot asymmetry in meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials
Funnel plots, and tests for funnel plot asymmetry, have been widely used to examine bias in the results of meta-analyses. Funnel plot asymmetry should not be equated with public...
Near-Optimal Signal Recovery From Random Projections: Universal Encoding Strategies?
Suppose we are given a vector f in a class F ⊂ ℝN, e.g., a class of digital signals or digital images. How many linear measurements do we need to make about f to be able to reco...
Improving neural networks by preventing co-adaptation of feature detectors
When a large feedforward neural network is trained on a small training set, it typically performs poorly on held-out test data. This "overfitting" is greatly reduced by randomly...
The Research Act: A Theoretical Introduction to Sociological Methods
At once a unique textbook for methods courses and a major contribution to sociological theory, this book teaches students the principles of research and to construct and test t...
Oxidants, antioxidants, and the degenerative diseases of aging.
Metabolism, like other aspects of life, involves tradeoffs. Oxidant by-products of normal metabolism cause extensive damage to DNA, protein, and lipid. We argue that this damage...
Likelihood Ratio Tests for Model Selection and Non-Nested Hypotheses
In this paper, we develop a classical approach to model selection. Using the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion to measure the closeness of a model to the truth, we propose ...
