Spurious sodium results (1) – pseudohyponatremia
This is the first of two linked articles that highlight the spurious sodium values that can occur if an indirect ISE technique is used to analyze plasma samples with abnormal protein or lipid concentration. The focus of this first article is spuriously reduced sodium (pseudohyponatremia) due to increased plasma protein or lipid concentration, whilst the subject of the second [1] is spuriously i...
متن کاملA Test Against Spurious Long Memory
This paper proposes a test statistic for the null hypothesis that a given time series is a stationary long memory process against the alternative hypothesis that it is of short memory, a¤ected by regime change or a smoothly varying trend. The proposed test is in the frequency domain and explores the derivatives of the pro led local Whittle likelihood function in a degenerating neighborhood of t...
متن کاملA Simple Test for Spurious Regressions
The literature on spurious regressions has found that the t-statistic for testing the null of no relationship between two independent variables diverges asymptotically under a wide variety of nonstationary data generating processes for the dependent and explanatory variables. This paper introduces a simple method which guarantees convergence of this t-statistic to a pivotal limit distribution, ...
متن کاملStructural Spurious Regressions and A Hausman-Wu-type Cointegration Test∗
Economic models often imply that certain variables are cointegrated. However, tests often fail to reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration for these variables. One possible explanation of these test results is that the error is unit root nonstationary due to a nonstationary measurement error in one variable. For example, currency held by domestic economic agents for legitimate transaction...
متن کاملSpurious Hyperleukocytosis
Hyperleukocytosis is an oncological emergency but is extremely rare in non-malignant conditions. Nucleated RBCs give rise to spuriously high total leucocyte count and cause clinical dilemma. Thalassemia major patients are known to have leucocytosis even after correction for nucleated RBCs. We report a case of undiagnosed Thalassemia major in a 4 month old infant with total leucocyte count highe...
