The relationship between metallothionein levels and concentrations of several metals and radionuclides was examined in liver tissues of raccoons ( Procyon lotor, n = 47) from the Department of Energy?s Savannah River Site in South Carolina to determine the applicability of metallothioneins as an initial screening device for exposure assessment in free-living mammals and environmental monitoring...

This paper adds one more contribution to the large literature on binomial confidence intervals for small samples (e.g., Clopper and Pearson 1934; Pearson and Hartley 1954; Sterne 1954; Crow 1956; Blyth and Still 1983; Blyth 1986; Santner and Duffy 1989; Agresti and Coull 1998; Henderson and Meyer 2001). Clopper and Peason (1934) gave the first two-sided binomial confidence intervals, in graphic...

The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy specific properties. We will analyze constructions and properties of Pearson codes.

This paper illustrates a permutation method for implementing multiple comparisons on Pearson’s Chi-square test for an R×C contingency table, using the SAS procedure FREQ and a newly developed SAS macro called CHISQ_MC. This method is analogous to the Tukey-type multiple comparison method for one-way analysis of variance.
