Are the Observed Differences Real?
Background and Purpose: We sought to find an explanation for the geographical variation in the incidence of nonfatal stroke detected in the FINMONICA stroke register during the period 1983-1985. Methods: Two separate investigations were made. In the first, a sample of approximately 100 nonfatal events drawn from each of the three monitoring areas (North Karelia, Kuopio, and Turku/Loimaa) partic...
متن کاملHow Real are Real Numbers?
We discuss mathematical and physical arguments against continuity and in favor of discreteness, with particular emphasis on the ideas of Emile Borel (1871–1956).
متن کاملCommon Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated
Common Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated We develop, and apply to data on U.S. corporations from 1987-2000, tests of the standard doubly-stochastic assumption under which firms’ default times are correlated only as implied by the correlation of factors determining their default intensities. This assumption is violated in the presence of contagion or “frailty” (unobservable covaria...
متن کاملHow Elastic are Real Applications?
Programs are typically developed with little or no consideration of their performance under different system loads or the effect they may have on other processes competing for the same resources. To an extent, this stems from the “virtual machine” approach promoted by most mainstream operating systems. With operating systems which offer mechanisms for fine-grained control of resource allocation...
متن کاملHow frequent are correlated changes in families of protein sequences?
A loss-of-function point mutation in a protein is often rescued by an additional mutation that compensates for the original physical change. According to one hypothesis, such compensation would be most effective in maintaining a structural motif if the two mutated residues were spatial neighbors. If this hypothesis were correct, one would expect that many such compensatory mutations have occurr...
