Can three incongruence tests predict when data should be combined?
Advocates of conditional combination have argued that testing for incongruence between data partitions is an important step in data exploration. Unless the partitions have had distinct histories, as in horizontal gene transfer, incongruence means that one or more data support the wrong phylogeny. This study examines the relationship between incongruence and phylogenetic accuracy using three tes...
متن کاملWhen Should Mayfield Model Data be Discarded?
—Much confusion exists over the proper way to handle nest-fate data collected after the fledge date when using the Mayfield method. I provide a simple numerical example showing how use of these data can bias estimates of daily survival probability, and present a likelihood function demonstrating that nest-fate data collected after the fledge date do not contribute any information for parameter ...
متن کاملWhen should tests for unexpected antibodies be done during pregnancy?
B oth the AABB’s Guidelines for Prenatal and Perinatal Immunohematology and the practice bulletin of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) on “Management of Alloimmunization during Pregnancy” advocate testing pregnant women for unexpected antibodies to red blood cell (RBC) antigens at the first-trimester visit. This testing serves to detect those alloantibodies capable ...
متن کاملOn When Data Streams Can (and Should) be Considered a Data Resource
Data streams are a prevalent and growing resource for timely data[11]. Sensor networks monitor physical environments; larger scale instruments such as NEXRAD Doppler radars continuously generate data. Network traffic, financial tickers, and transaction logs as well are valuable sources of data. Grid services[19] based applications need to be able to take advantage of these resources. The Antarc...
متن کاملSimultaneous Inference: When Should Hypothesis Testing Problems Be Combined?
Modern statisticians are often presented with hundreds or thousands of hypothesis testing problems to evaluate at the same time, generated from new scientific technologies such as microarrays, medical and satellite imaging devices, or flow cytometry counters. The relevant statistical literature tends to begin with the tacit assumption that a single combined analysis, for instance a False Discov...
