Inequalities between hypergeometric tails
A special inequality between the tail probabilities of certain related hypergeometrics was shown by Seneta and Phipps [19] to suggest useful ‘quasi-exact’ alternatives to Fisher’s [5] Exact Test. With this result as motivation, two inequalities of Hájek and Havránek [6] are investigated in this paper and are generalised to produce inequalities in the form required. A parallel inequality in bino...
متن کاملContinued Fractions of Tails of Hypergeometric Series
The tails of the Taylor series for many standard functions such as arctan and log can be expressed as continued fractions in a variety of ways. A surprising side effect is that some of these continued fractions provide a dramatic acceleration for the underlying power series. These investigations were motivated by a surprising observation about Gregory’s series. Gregory’s series for π, truncated...
متن کاملCarl Woese
Not long after Carl Woese died, I received a message from Robin Gutell asking if I would contribute an article to this issue of RNA Biology. While my admiration for Carl's contributions to biology knows no bounds, I did not know him well personally. For that reason I advised Robin to strike my name off the list of contributors and replace it with that of someone who is better qualified than I a...
متن کاملCarl J. Carl J. Levinson, MD, 1927–2011
With such a mentor, we are pushed to become much more than we could have been, to strive to achieve beyond ourselves. Carl exemplified this in his character not only for SLS and me but also in other organizations and places, such as AAGL, in Milwaukee, at Baylor, in San Francisco, and ultimately at Stanford. He influenced many leaders in the field today. To name just a few: Camran Nezhat, Rober...
متن کاملRemembering Carl Woese
My first memory of Carl Woese was as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois. I attended a seminar course in which Carl was an instructor along with Professors Dick Davenport, Dave Stocum, and Dave Nanney. The first class was on a cold winter morning and Carl arrived late, looking hurried and wearing an impossibly large, puffy winter coat. I turned to my classmate, Doug Melton, and said ...
