TWO EROSION EPOCHS--ANOTHER SUGGESTION

Another Suggestion for the Treatment of Cholera

By Surgeon-Major Augustus R. Hall, Army Medical Department, in Medical charge, British Troops, Fortress Gwalior. Since writing my paper last month, which appeared in the September number of the Indian Medical Gazette, I have had some cases of cholera, of a very severe type, to treat. Two of them proved fatal rapidly, the purging and vomiting being so incessant that the blood lost a very large q...

Another View of the Classical Problem of Comparing Two Probabilities

The usual calculation of the P-value for the classical problem of‎ ‎comparing probabilities is not always accurate‎. ‎This‎ ‎issue arose in the context of a legal dispute which depended on when‎ ‎some written material was written in a diary‎. ‎The problem raises‎ ‎some issues on the foundations of statistical inference.‎ 

A Suggestion on Suggestion

Phase III elimination: another two-edge sword.

Excretion into bile is well recognized as a major pathway for the elimination of amphipathic, hydrophobic, high molecular weight xenobiotics and thus complements the renal elimination of hydrophilic compounds of low molecular weight. For many xeno-biotics, excretion in bile, which has been termed a phase III elimination reaction (1), begins with an oxidation reaction (phase I), followed by conj...

Local Limit Theorems for Ladder Epochs

Let S0 = 0, {Sn}n≥1 be a random walk generated by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables X1,X2, ... and let τ− := min {n ≥ 1 : Sn ≤ 0} and τ := min {n ≥ 1 : Sn > 0}. Assuming that the distribution of X1 belongs to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law, α 6= 1, we study the asymptotic behavior of P(τ± = n) as n → ∞.
