Potentially Large yet Uncertain Benefits

Response to letter regarding article, "Potentially large yet uncertain benefits: a meta-analysis of patent foramen ovale closure trials".

Response to Letter Regarding Article, “Potentially Large yet Uncertain Benefits: A Meta-analysis of Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Trials” We thank the writers for their comments, which largely underscore our own perspective. We highlight and clarify a few points in response. First, even when individual studies are themselves underpowered, meta-analysis can provide a way to make inferences from t...

Uncertain private benefits and the decision to go public

This paper focuses on the decision to go public when both seller and potential buyers have private benefits of control.

Efficient Subgraph Search over Large Uncertain Graphs

Retrieving graphs containing a query graph from a large graph database is a key task in many graph-based applications, including chemical compounds discovery, protein complex prediction, and structural pattern recognition. However, graph data handled by these applications is often noisy, incomplete, and inaccurate because of the way the data is produced. In this paper,we study subgraph queries ...
