How Likely is Simpson’s Paradox?

What proportion of all 2× 2× 2 contingency tables exhibit Simpson’s Paradox? An approximate answer is obtained for large sample sizes and extended to 2×2×l tables. Several conditional probabilities of the occurrence of Simpson’s Paradox are also derived. Given that the observed cell frequencies satisfy a Simpson reversal, the posterior probability that the population parameters satisfy the same...

RNAi Therapeutics: How Likely, How Soon?

R NA interference (RNAi) has been called " one of the most exciting discoveries in biology in the last couple decades, " and since it was fi rst recognized by Andrew Fire et al. in 1998, it has quickly become one of the most powerful and indispensable tools in the molecular biologist's toolkit. Using short double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, RNAi can selectively silence essentially any gene ...
