متن کاملHow to measure efficiency
The measurement of the efficiency of some selection or process is always an important part of the analysis of experimental data. The statistical techniques needed to determine the efficiency and its uncertainty are reviewed, based on the use of the Bayes’ theorem. Uniform and non-uniform priors are considered in two real-life examples. The use of the uncertainties in practical cases is also con...

ASome professional bodies recommend national population-based screening programs to detect QT prolongation. Familial long QT syndrome (LQTS) may remain undetected because of misdiagnosis (eg, as a seizure disorder) or through failure to measure the QT interval correctly. Psychiatrists fear the QT pro...
