چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولRelative entropy as a measure of diagnostic information.
Relative entropy is a concept within information theory that provides a measure of the distance between two probability distributions. The author proposes that the amount of information gained by performing a diagnostic test can be quantified by calculating the relative entropy between the posttest and pretest probability distributions. This statistic, in essence, quantifies the degree to which...
متن کاملEstimating false discovery rates for contingency tables
When testing a large number of hypotheses, it can be helpful to estimate or control the false discovery rate (FDR), the expected proportion of tests called significant that are truly null. The FDR is intricately linked to probability that a truly null test is significant, and thus a number of methods have been described that estimate or control the FDR by directly using the p-values of the hypo...
متن کاملAutomatically Estimating Record Linkage False Match Rates
This paper provides a mechanism for automatically estimating record linkage false match rates in situations where the subset of the true matches is reasonably well separated from other pairs and there is no training data. The method provides an alternative to the method of Belin and Rubin (JASA 1995) and is applicable in more situations. We provide examples demonstrating why the general problem...
متن کاملEstimating Relative Potency Based on Multivariate Risk/Benefit Assessment
Relative potency plays a key role in understanding the relationship between the doses of two treatments. Defined as the ratio of equally effective doses, it is central to communicating the relationship between a new drug entering the market and older medications. Because doses are tested and collected at discrete points in clinical trials, estimation in direct assays is hampered by the fact tha...
