P-value: What is and what is not

The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.

Memory Training Interventions: What has been forgotten?

Memory training for older adults often produces gains that are limited to the particular memory tasks encountered during training. We suggest that memory training programs may be misguided by an implicit "generalist" assumption-memory training on a couple of memory tasks will have a positive benefit on memory ability in general. One approach to increase memory-training benefits is to target tra...

What Is Not Clear in Fuzzy Control Systems?

The paper presents a number of unclear, unsolved or partly solved problems of fuzzy logic, which hinder precise transformation of expert knowledge about proper control of a plant in a fuzzy controller. These vague problems comprise the realization of logical and arithmetic operations and another basic problem, i.e., the construction of membership functions. The paper also indicates how some of ...

The Missing Memristor has Not been Found

In 1971, not only the theoretical and by definition already existing 'ideal memristor' concept was introduced, but a real memristor device was suggested on grounds of the already known real inductors. The latter is a scientifically significant hypothesis grounded in fundamental symmetries of basic physics, here electro-magnetism. 2008 claimed the discovery of the "missing memristor." Controvers...
