We consider (ǫ, δ)-PAC maximum-selection and ranking for general probabilistic models whose comparisons probabilities satisfy strong stochastic transitivity and stochastic triangle inequality. Modifying the popular knockout tournament, we propose a maximum-selection algorithm that uses O (

Statistical topics that related to agroforestry studies are discussed. These included study objectives, populations of interest, sampling schemes, sample sizes, estimation vs. hypothesis testing, and P-values. In addition, a relatively new and very much improved histogram display is described. As the title implies, I would like to discuss various statistical topics that relate to agroforestry s...

The Statistical Knowledge Network (SKN) is envisioned as a consortium of individuals and organizations supported by technologies that enable them to share and use statistical expertise and information (Marchionini et al., 2003). The SKN would provide integrated access to statistical information from a multitude of sources and enable use of that information through statistical literacy tools, ap...

Developments in genomics and biotechnology provide unprecedented opportunities for the development of effective therapeutics and companion diagnostics for matching the right drug to the right patient. Effective co-development entails many new challenges however, including development of an appropriate diagnostic, its analytical validation, clinical validation and utilization in pivotal trials t...
