Gibbs Sampling Methods for Stick-Breaking Priors
A rich and exible class of random probability measures, which we call stick-breaking priors, can be constructed using a sequence of independent beta random variables. Examples of random measures that have this characterization include the Dirichlet process, its two-parameter extension, the two-parameter Poisson–Dirichlet process, nite dimensional Dirichlet priors, and beta two-parameter pro...
متن کاملGlow stick or urine sample?
The random urine sample shown in Fig. 1 was collected from a 43-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus. A routine urinalysis (Aution Max AX-4280; Iris Diagnostics) revealed no remarkable findings and, specifically, was negative for protein. The corresponding urine protein concentration, however, was 448 mg/dL (reference interval, 12 mg/dL) as measured with a turbidimetric assay (Cobas...
متن کاملNeonatal pain response to heel stick vs venepuncture for routine blood sampling.
Neonatal pain response and adverse effects and maternal anxiety were assessed in 27 infants who were randomly allocated to venepuncture or heel stick. Pain was assessed by nurses using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and a three point scale for the mothers. NIPS scores were higher in the heel stick group compared with the venepuncture group. Maternal anxiety was higher before the procedur...
متن کاملFinger-stick blood sampling methodology for the determination of exercise-induced lymphocyte apoptosis.
Exercise is a physiological stimulus capable of inducing apoptosis in immune cells. To date, various limitations have been identified with the measurement of this phenomenon, particularly relating to the amount of time required to isolate and treat a blood sample prior to the assessment of cell death. Because of this, it is difficult to determine whether reported increases in immune cell apopto...
