Basic Statistical Considerations in Virological Experiments

Basic statistical considerations in virological experiments.

All too frequently, authors who submit manuscripts to the Journal of Virology, and indeed to most journals, are surprised to find that the reviewers do not share the authors’ view of their data and, as a result, do not feel that the conclusions of the manuscript are valid. Where authors see a significant difference in infectivity or a significant difference in the intensity of a band on a gel, ...

Potential Statistical Evidence in Experiments and Renyi Information

Recently Habibi et al. (2006) defined a pre-experimental criterion for the potential strength of evidence provided by an experiment, based on Kullback-Leibler distance. In this paper, we investigate the potential statistical evidence in an experiment in terms of Renyi distance and compare the potential statistical evidence in lower (upper) record values with that in the same number of ii...

Basic Considerations on Epistemology ( 1937 )

| The doctrines of knowledge a priori and of exclusive empirism [ausschließender Empirismus] oppose each other in the epistemological discussion. The a priori view is characterized by the claim that we are in possession of certain pieces of knowledge, being originally contained in reason although coming to actuality only through stimulation by sensation, that can be expressed in the form of gen...

Basic statistical models

1 Definition and the basic properties The Ising model (IM) was invented by Lenz. His student Ising has found the partition function of the 1d model and tried to solve 2d model but failed. The exact solution of 2d model was found by Onsager in 1942-1944. It is one of the fundamental results in statistical physics. The IM consist of spins σ x = ±1 ascribed to sites of a lattice x. The energy of ...
