JDM update September 2014

Review of international collaborative work International groups have developed tools for the assessment of muscles, as well as the assessment of disease activity and disease damage. This has allowed physicians to standardise their patient assessments. Core outcome variables for JDM have been proposed (IMACS and PRINTO) as well as definitions of disease flare and remission. Work is going on to a...

Claim: E(time to insert x) ≤ O(1). Proof: A cuckoo graph has m vertices (one per cell of A) and n edges (since for each x, we connect g(x) to h(x)). Consider the path we get from an insertion of x. We could get a simple path, a single cycle, or a double cycle. Let us define the following random variables: T , the runtime; Pk, the indicator random variable of a path being at least length k; Ck, ...
