Intersecting birth weight-specific mortality curves: solving the riddle.
Small babies from a population with higher infant mortality often have better survival than small babies from a lower-risk population. This phenomenon can in principle be explained entirely by the presence of unmeasured confounding factors that increase mortality and decrease birth weight. Using a previously developed model for birth weight-specific mortality, the authors demonstrate specifical...
متن کاملNEONATAL MORTALITY IN RELATION TO BIRTH WEIGHT
730 low birth weight (LBW) neonates and 1460 controls were selected from 13,123 neonates born from October 1988 to June 1989 in 17 hospitals and maternity units in Tehran, and were compared for mortality in the first seven and up to 28 days of life (early neonatal period). In this study all low birth weight newborns are divided according to four sub-groups of birth weight, and the mortalit...
متن کاملSolving the Riddle of Coherence
A coherent story is a story that fits together well. This notion plays a central role in the coherence theory of justification and has been proposed as a criterion for scientific theory choice. Many attempts have been made to give a probabilistic account of this notion. A proper account of coherence must not start from some partial intuitions, but should pay attention to the role that this noti...

متن کاملIntersecting curves
Consider the graphs of n distinct polynomials of a real variable intersecting at some point. In the neighborhood of this point, the qualitative picture is described by some permutation of {1, . . . , n}. We describe the permutations that occur in such a situation. In this note, we shall examine the relative positions of the graphs of several functions in the neighborhood of a point where they i...
