Characterisations of Nelson Algebras

Nelson algebras arise naturally in algebraic logic as the algebraic models of Nelson’s constructive logic with strong negation. This note gives two characterisations of the variety of Nelson algebras up to term equivalence, together with a characterisation of the finite Nelson algebras up to polynomial equivalence. The results answer a question of Blok and Pigozzi and clarify some earlier work ...

Nelson–Aalen Estimator

The Nelson–Aalen estimator is a nonparametric estimator which may be used to estimate the cumulative hazard rate function from censored survival data (see Survival Distributions and Their Characteristics). Since no distributional assumptions are needed, one important use of the estimator is to check graphically the fit of parametric models, and this is the reason why it was originally introduce...

NELSON lung cancer screening study

The Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening Trial (Dutch acronym: NELSON study) was designed to investigate whether screening for lung cancer by low-dose multidetector computed tomography (CT) in high-risk subjects will lead to a decrease in 10-year lung cancer mortality of at least 25% compared with a control group without screening. Since the start of the NELSON study in 2003, 7557 par...
