This thesis compares methods of estimating treatment effect from clinical trials with multiple follow-up measurements, using two different data generating mechanisms. The first such model that has been looked into is the random intercept model where the treatment provides a single sustained effect in the outcome variable, the other one is a random intercept model where the treatment effect is d...

References INTRODUCTION Intriguing parallels can be observed between the execution of computer programs and the interpretation of ordinary discourse. Various elements of discourse, such as assertions, suppositions and questions, may well be compared with statements or sequences of statements in an imperative program. Let us concentrate on assertions for the moment. Stalnaker 1979 sums up some o...

Eukaryotes appear to evolve by micro and macro rearrangements. This is observed not only for long-term evolutionary adaptation, but also in short-term experimental evolution of yeast, S. cerevisiae. Moreover, based on these and other experiments it has been postulated that repeat elements, retroposons for example, mediate such events. We study an evolutionary model in which genomes with retropo...

The Utrecht Blend: Basic Ingredients for an XML Retrieval System

Exploiting the structure of a document allows for more powerful information retrieval techniques. In this article a basic approach is discussed for the retrieval of XML document fragments. Based on a vector-space model for text retrieval we aim at investigating various strategies that influence the retrieval performance of an XML-based IR system. The first extension of the system uses a schema-...
