Diagnostic uncertainty: dichotomies are not the answer.
a leading figure in the development and evaluation of diagnostic research methods, argued that the binary ‘positive–negative’ framework used in test accuracy research is not representative of diagnostic decision making in clinical practice.1 In particular, he called for a move away from the dichotomisation of quantitative test scales (tests that are on a continuous or ordinal scale) and advocat...
متن کاملApes are intuitive statisticians.
Inductive learning and reasoning, as we use it both in everyday life and in science, is characterized by flexible inferences based on statistical information: inferences from populations to samples and vice versa. Many forms of such statistical reasoning have been found to develop late in human ontogeny, depending on formal education and language, and to be fragile even in adults. New revolutio...
متن کاملAre Banks Different ? Evidence from International Data
Pecking order models of international finance suggest that countries should become less reliant on international bank lending as they develop. Reduced information costs are one of the factors behind this trend towards disintermediation. This paper presents a simple model on the choice between bank debt and bond finance which builds on Rajan (1992), and it uses two new datasets to test the impli...
متن کاملViewpoint Not all iron superconductors are the same
We are facing a new paradigm in superconductivity research with the discovery of superconductivity in iron pnictides (LaFeAsO, SrFe2As2, BaFe2As2, etc.) and the iron chalcogenides (FeTe and FeSe). Both classes of ironbased materials, for some as yet unknown reason, have proven to be fertile ground for novel superconductivity, with the transition temperature of the pnictides racing above 50 K. A...
متن کاملModels are not the answer to improved landfilling.
Hillary Inyang’s article in the September 1, 2004, Environmental Science &Technology, “Modeling the Long-Term Performance of Waste Containment Systems: Better models will help predict what happens to containments in 50 or 1000 years” presents a discussion of some of the issues that need to be considered/evaluated in developing landfills for waste storage. However, her statement at the conclusio...
