Multivariate delta check method for detecting specimen mix-up.
Among laboratory mistakes, "specimen mix-up" is the most frequent and the most serious. According to the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Error Report of Toranomon Hospital, specimen mix-up was often detected when there were many large discrepancies between the results of a test and the results of a previous test. We present here a checking method to detect specimen mix-up. The method, which we ca...
متن کاملThe Grand Tour as a Method for Detecting Multivariate Outliers
A method of viewing multivariate data vectors and identifying among them outliers is described. The method is applied to two sets of benchmark data: Brownee's stack-loss data and Hawkins{Bradu{Kass data. All the outliers contained in these data are easily identiied. Generally, it is expected that the method will yield good results (i.e. will nd the outliers) for data having elliptical or nearly...
متن کاملConfusion—specimen mix-up in dermatopathology and measures to prevent and detect it
Maintaining patient identity throughout the biopsy pathway is critical for the practice of dermatology and dermatopathology. From the biopsy procedure to the acquisition of the pathology report, a specimen may pass through the hands of more than twenty individuals in several workplaces. The risk of a mix-up is considerable and may account for more serious mistakes than diagnostic errors. To pre...
متن کاملDetecting Unknown Worms Using Randomness Check
From the appearance of CodeRed and SQL Slammer worm, we have learned that the early detection of worm epidemics is important to reduce the damage caused by their outbreak. One prominent characteristic of Internet worms is to choose next targets randomly by using a random generator. In this paper, we propose a new worm detection mechanism by checking the random distribution of destination addres...
متن کاملMultivariate Delta Gon£arov and Abel Polynomials
Classical Gon£arov polynomials are polynomials which interpolate derivatives. Delta Gon£arov polynomials are polynomials which interpolate delta operators, e.g., forward and backward difference operators. We extend fundamental aspects of the theory of classical bivariate Gon£arov polynomials and univariate delta Gon£arov polynomials to the multivariate setting using umbral calculus. After intro...
