Confounders versus Mediators: An Important Distinction.
To the Editor: With some degree of amazement, we read the article by Kashy et al.1 on the influence of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 670/0.75 (Hextend; Hospira Inc., USA) on perioperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The data are derived from a database of more than 120,000 patients treated in Cleveland hospitals, in which 6% HES 670/0.75 was the most commonly u...

My purpose in this comparison will be to find the features of Putnam’s argument that prepare the ground for...
متن کاملGeneration Complexity Versus Distinction Complexity
Among the several notions of resource-bounded Kolmogorov complexity that suggest themselves, the following one due to Levin [Le] has probably received most attention in the literature. With some appropriate universal machine U understood, let the Kolmogorov complexity of a word w be the minimum of |d|+log t over all pairs of a word d and a natural number t such that U takes time t to check that...
