Epidemiological studies are like cherries, one draws another.
The proverb "Words are like cherries", meaning that when you start talking subjects pop up and you end up with long conversations, just like cherries coming out of the plate in chains when you pick one, may also be applied to epidemiological research. A sequence of epidemiological studies, each being drawn from the previous, is presented as an example of how each investigation may raise new que...
متن کاملOne ROCK is not like another
One ROCK is not like another he mammalian rho kinases, ROCKI and ROCKII, control distinct cytoskeletal functions from distinct locations, report Yoneda et al. on page 443. ROCKI is required for formation of actin stress fibers and cell adhesion, whereas ROCKII is needed for phagocytosis. The ROCK proteins are major effectors of the Rho signaling pathway, controlling cell adhesion, motility, and...
متن کاملDirichlet draws are sparse with high probability
This note provides an elementary proof of the folklore fact that draws from a Dirichlet distribution (with parameters less than 1) are typically sparse (most coordinates are small). 1 Bounds Let Dir(α) denote a Dirichlet distribution with all parameters equal to α. Theorem 1.1. Suppose n ≥ 2 and (X1, . . . , Xn) ∼ Dir(1/n). Then, for any c0 ≥ 1 satisfying 6c0 ln(n) + 1 < 3n, Pr [∣∣∣∣{i : Xi ≥ 1...
متن کاملAre clusters found in one dataset present in another dataset?
In many microarray studies, a cluster defined on one dataset is sought in an independent dataset. If the cluster is found in the new dataset, the cluster is said to be "reproducible" and may be biologically significant. Classifying a new datum to a previously defined cluster can be seen as predicting which of the previously defined clusters is most similar to the new datum. If the new data clas...
متن کاملGive Me Another One!
We investigate the complexity of an optimization problem in Boolean propositional logic related to information theory: Given a conjunctive formula over a set of relations, find a satisfying assignment with minimal Hamming distance to a given assignment that satisfies the formula (NearestOtherSolution, NOSol). We present a complete classification with respect to the relations admitted in the for...
