How to draw the line in biomedical research

The use of the least squares method to calculate the best-fitting line through a two-dimensional scatter plot typically requires the user to assume that one of the variables depends on the other. However, in many cases the relationship between the two variables is more complex, and it is not valid to say that one variable is independent and the other is dependent. When analysing such data resea...

How Can We Draw the Line between Clinical Care and Medical Research

A Policy Forum published in this month's PLoS Medicine highlights an issue that the PLoS Medicine editors have often debated: when research takes place within the context of clinical care, how can we distinguish which activities constitute care, and which research? The World Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics declares that a physician must always " act in the patient's best interest whe...

How to Draw Tropical Planes

The tropical Grassmannian parameterizes tropicalizations of ordinary linear spaces, while the Dressian parameterizes all tropical linear spaces in TP. We study these parameter spaces and we compute them explicitly for n ≤ 7. Planes are identified with matroid subdivisions and with arrangements of trees. These representations are then used to draw pictures.
