Improving uniformity in brain death determination policies over time
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that progress has been made in unifying brain death determination guidelines in the last decade by directly comparing the policies of the US News and World Report's top 50 ranked neurologic institutions from 2006 and 2015. METHODS We solicited official hospital guidelines in 2015 from these top 50 institutions, generated summary statistics of their criteria as benchma...
متن کاملLegal Basis for Donating Organs for Brain Death Patients
Brain death involves the complete and irreversible destruction of brain activity characterized by profound coma, apnea and the absence of all brainstem reflexes. The issue of organ transplantation is a very important issue in the field of jurisprudence and law in addition to being one of the issues to be considered and analyzed in the medical world, especially in jurisprudence and the issue has...
متن کاملTesting Uniformity Versus
The paper is concerned with testing uniformity versus a monotone density. This problem arises in two important contexts, after transformations, testing whether a sample is a simple random sample or a biased sample, and testing whether the intensity function of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process is constant against monotone alternatives. A penalized likelihood ratio test (P-test) and a Dip likelih...
متن کاملSharp Bounds for Generalized Uniformity Testing
We study the problem of generalized uniformity testing [BC17] of a discrete probability distribution: Given samples from a probability distribution p over an unknown discrete domain Ω, we want to distinguish, with probability at least 2/3, between the case that p is uniform on some subset of Ω versus -far, in total variation distance, from any such uniform distribution. We establish tight bound...
متن کاملTesting uniformity of stationary distribution
A random walk on a directed graph gives a markov chain on the vertices on the graph. An important question that arises often in the context of markov chain is whether the uniform distribution on the vertices of the graph a stationary distribution for the markov chain. Testing whether a distribution is uniform or “far” from being uniform is a well studied problem in property testing and statisti...
