Human estimates of object frequency are frequently over-estimated

Estimations of object frequency are frequently overestimated.

Real-world scenes are complex but lawful: blenders are more likely to be found in kitchens than beaches, and elephants are not generally found inside homes. Research over the past 40years has demonstrated that contextual associations influence object recognition, change eye movement distributions, and modulate brain activity. However, the majority of these studies choose object-scene pairs from...

Estimated Average Glucose and Self-Monitored Mean Blood Glucose Are Discordant Estimates of Glycemic Control

OBJECTIVE The A1C-Derived Average Glucose study recommended reporting A1C in estimated average glucose (eAG) equivalents. We compared eAG with self-monitored mean blood glucose (MBG) to determine whether eAG is systematically biased due to biological variation in the relationship between MBG and A1C. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS MBG and A1C were recorded from charts of 202 pediatric type 1 dia...

Surface Groups are Frequently Faithful

We show the set of faithful representations of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface group is dense in both irreducible components of the PSL2(K) representation variety, where K = C or R, answering a question of W. Goldman. We also prove the existence of faithful representations into PU(2, 1) with certain nonintegral Toledo invariants.

Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection Is Frequently Confounding

Persistent genetic variation within populations presents an evolutionary problem, as natural selection and genetic drift tend to erode genetic diversity. Models of balancing selection were developed to account for the maintenance of genetic variation observed in natural populations. Negative frequency-dependent selection is a powerful type of balancing selection that maintains many natural poly...
