$p$–hyponormality is not translation–invariant

P-value: What is and what is not

The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.

Smoothness estimates for soft - threshold denoising via translationinvariant wavelet transforms

In this paper we study a generalization of the Donoho-Johnstone denoising model for the case of the translation invariant wavelet transform. Instead of soft-thresholding coeecients of the classical orthogonal discrete wavelet transform, we study soft-thresholding of the co-eecients of the translation invariant discrete wavelet transform. This latter transform is not an orthogonal transformation...

who is one locus mismatched sibling donor, who is not?

the most important factor in donor-recipient matching for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is their hla typing. for many patients, we can not find a full-matched donor. in high risk patients, one locus  mismatched related donors are suitable alternatives. (1, 2) since the matching of patients and their siblings usually is based on low resolution hla typing, the matching of one locus mism...

Knowledge, Not Funding is the Most Important Research Resource

In the last issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, Dr. Reza Afshari raised the question of what are the best scientific areas of focus of toxicology for “low income countries and how such research might be achieved (1). South-south collaboration, in which developing countries share resources, was one of the proposed solutions. Rather than limit discussion to “low income” coun...
