Another Statistical Paradox
We show that a single binomial observation carries absolutely no evidential value for discriminating the null hypothesis θ = 1/2 from a broad class of alternative hypotheses that allow θ to be between 0 and 1. In contrast, interval estimation methods suggest that a single binomial observation does provide some evidence against the null hypothesis. The resolution of this paradox requires the ins...
متن کاملAnother calcium paradox?
In a number of important diseases, the clinical course is defined principally by the host response, more so than by the initiating environmental insult. Clinicians rely on identification of this host response for diagnosis and may select those responses as targets for therapeutic intervention. Atherosclerosis is one such disease. The clinical course was once felt to result from progressive accu...
متن کاملSmoking Interaction with Clopidogrel; Another Smoker's Paradox?
Exposure to cigarette smoke is an established risk factor for coronary heart disease in both Western and Asian countries. The multivariate relative risk of coronary heart disease mortality for current smokers was 1.8-3.7 compared to nonsmokers. Poor prognosis in smokers results from: 1) induction of hypercoagulability due to increased platelet activation, dyslipidemia, and endothelial dysfuncti...
متن کاملThe g-value paradox.
The February 15th, 2001 announcement of the draft human genome sequence was the culmination of a momentous undertaking. The analyses of this sequence (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium 2001; Venter et al. 2001) predicted a surprisingly modest 31,000 genes for Homo sapiens (although this number has yet to be finalized), as compared with estimates as high as 140,000 genes just a fe...
متن کاملClinical and Population Studies Enhanced Clopidogrel Responsiveness in Smokers Smokers’ Paradox Is Dependent on Cytochrome P450 CYP1A2 Status
Objective—Observational studies have reported enhanced response to clopidogrel in smokers (the smokers’ paradox). We examined whether genetic variations in the cytochrome and drug transporter system are associated with the effect of smoking on clopidogrel response. Methods and Results—Clopidogrel on-treatment platelet reactivity (OPR) was measured in 1431 consecutive patients who underwent coro...
