Spurious 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...

Spurious Regression

The spurious regression phenomenon in least squares occurs for a wide range of data generating processes, such as driftless unit roots, unit roots with drift, long memory, trend and brokentrend stationarity. Indeed, spurious regressions have played a fundamental role in the building of modern time series econometrics and have revolutionized many of the procedures used in applied macroeconomics....
