The problem of testing two simple hypotheses in a general probability space is considered. For fixed type-I error probability, the best exponential decay rate type-II investigated. In regular asymptotic cases (i.e., when length observation interval grows without limit) given by Stein’s exponent. paper, for space, some non-asymptotic lower and upper bounds are derived. These represent pure analy...

introduction sleepiness refers to drowsiness, feelings or strong will to sleep, and decreased functional outcomes. this study was conducted to determine the relationship between sleepiness, physical activity, and functional outcomes of sleep in iranian patients with type ii diabetes. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study 220 outpatients with type ii diabetes were selected through ...

medication errors have important effects on increased length of hospitalization, increased mortality and costs. we assessed the incidence of medication errors and characterize the error types in an emergency department in a large teaching hospital in tehran. we also investigated the effect of emergency department pharmacists on patient safety with regard to recovery of potentially harmful medic...

the aromatic plants are rich in essential oils characterized by a notable antimicrobial activity; for this reason, these substances can be used to delay or inhibit the growth of pathogenic or spoilage microorganisms. in this study, log probability percentage (log p%) of growth of the clostridium botulinum type a spores in brain heart infusion (bhi) broth as affected by various levels of zataria...

In light of the information measures introduced in Part I, a generalized version of the Asymp-totic Equipartition Property (AEP) is proved. General xed-length data compaction and data compression (source coding) theorems for arbitrary nite-alphabet sources are also established. Finally, the general expression of the Neyman-Pearson type-II error exponent subject to upper bounds on the type-I err...
