From stool to statistics: reporting of acute gastrointestinal illnesses in Canada.
BACKGROUND Limitations associated with the under-reporting of enteric illnesses have long been recognized but the extent and variation of this under-reporting in Canada has not been examined. Given the public health value of surveillance data, a closer examination of under-reporting of enteric illnesses in Canada was warranted. METHODS Paper-based surveys were administered (a) to all laborato...
متن کاملFrom Statistics to Beliefs
An intelligent agent uses known facts including statistical knowledge to assign degrees of belief to assertions it is un certain about We investigate three principled techniques for doing this All three are applications of the principle of indi erence because they assign equal degree of belief to all basic situations consistent with the knowledge base They di er because there are competing intu...
متن کاملA New Method to Detect Strongyloides Stercoralis from Human Stool
A new method for the detection of Strongyloides larvae was established. A small amount of stool was placed in the center of an agar plate and was incubated at 37•Ž for 24 hr. Characteristically aligned bacterial colonies or furrows left by crawling Strongyloides larvae appeared on the agar surface are the positive findings. The larvae gathered in a well made on positive plate were identified. B...
متن کاملAn Approach to Deriving Maximal Invariant Statistics
Invariance principles is one of the ways to summarize sample information and by these principles invariance or equivariance decision rules are used. In this paper, first, the methods for finding the maximal invariant function are introduced. As a new method, maximal invariant statistics are constructed using equivariant functions. Then, using several equivariant functions, the maximal invariant...
متن کاملThe standard map: From Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics to Tsallis statistics
As well known, Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics is the correct way of thermostatistically approaching ergodic systems. On the other hand, nontrivial ergodicity breakdown and strong correlations typically drag the system into out-of-equilibrium states where Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics fails. For a wide class of such systems, it has been shown in recent years that the correct approach is to use Tsallis ...
