Accounting for uncertainty in DNA sequencing data.
Science is defined in part by an honest exposition of the uncertainties that arise in measurements and propagate through calculations and inferences, so that the reliabilities of its conclusions are made apparent. The recent rapid development of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies has dramatically increased the number of measurements made at the biochemical and molecular level. These da...
متن کاملAccounting for Model Uncertainty in Survival Analysis Improves Predictive Performance
Survival analysis is concerned with nding models to predict the survival of patients or to assess the eecacy of a clinical treatment. A key part of the model-building process is the selection of the predictor variables. It is standard to use a stepwise procedure guided by a series of signiicance tests to select a single model, and then to make inference conditionally on the selected model. Howe...
متن کاملIgnoramus, Ignorabimus? On Uncertainty in Ecological Inference
Models of ecological inference (EI) have to rely on crucial assumptions about the individuallevel data-generating process, which cannot be tested because of the unavailability of these data. However, these assumptions may be violated by the unknown data and this may lead to serious bias of estimates and predictions. The amount of bias, however, cannot be assessed without information that is una...
متن کاملAccounting for uncertainty in ecological analysis: the strengths and limitations of hierarchical statistical modeling.
Analyses of ecological data should account for the uncertainty in the process(es) that generated the data. However, accounting for these uncertainties is a difficult task, since ecology is known for its complexity. Measurement and/or process errors are often the only sources of uncertainty modeled when addressing complex ecological problems, yet analyses should also account for uncertainty in s...
متن کاملAccounting for Uncertainty in Control-Relevant Statistics
To make appropriate decisions based on common indices used in control, both the point estimates and their uncertainties must be known. Many control-relevant statistics, such as model predictions, gain margins and other frequency domain quantities, are functions of parameters of process models. Confidence regions for these quantities are most often calculated under the assumption that these quan...
