This paper describes a framework for flexible multiple hypothesis testing of autoregressive time series. The modeling approach is Bayesian, thought a blend of frequentist and Bayesian reasoning is used to evaluate procedures. Nonparametric characterizations of both the null and alternative hypotheses will be shown to be the key robustification step necessary to ensure reasonable Type-I error pe...

superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a very uncommon disorder in which acute angulation of superior mesenteric artery (sma) at its origin from aorta results in compression of the third part of the duodenum leading to partial or complete obstruction of the duodenum. other terminologies for this condition are cast syndrome, wilkie syndrome, arteriomesenteric duodenal obstruction, and chronic du...
