Reversing the Stein Effect
The Reverse Stein Effect is identified and illustrated: A statistician who shrinks his/her data toward a point chosen without reliable knowledge about the underlying value of the parameter to be estimated but based instead upon the observed data will not be protected by the minimax property of shrinkage estimators such a" that of James and Stein, but instead will likely incur a greater error th...
متن کاملThe Subword Reversing Method
We summarize the main known results involving subword reversing, a method of semigroup theory for constructing van Kampen diagrams by referring to a preferred direction. In good cases, the method provides a powerful tool for investigating presented (semi)groups. In particular, it leads to cancellativity and embeddability criteria for monoids and to efficient solutions for the word problem of mo...
متن کاملReversing gp100/IFA-induced impairment of anti-CTLA-4 checkpoint blockade therapy
Background and hypothesis Cancer immunotherapies have been advanced by the recent FDA approval of anti-CTLA-4 antibody (Ipilimumab, Yervoy) and soon-to-be approved anti-PD-1 antibody, immunological checkpoint-blocking agents with significant anti-tumor activity against melanoma and other cancers. A promising avenue to further increase their efficacy is combination with T cell-inducing vaccinati...
متن کاملReversing Cachexia
Muscle atrophy (cachexia) in cancer patients is a life-threatening condition for which therapeutic options are limited. Zhou et al. (2010) now identify a new target for treating cachexia, the activin type-2 receptor (ActRIIB). In several mouse models of cachexia, the authors reversed wasting of skeletal and cardiac muscle and increased life span by blocking ActRIIB with a decoy receptor.
متن کاملReversing the course of forgetting.
Forgetting functions were generated for pigeons in a delayed matching-to-sample task, in which accuracy decreased with increasing retention-interval duration. In baseline training with dark retention intervals, accuracy was high overall. Illumination of the experimental chamber by a houselight during the retention interval impaired performance accuracy by increasing the rate of forgetting. In n...
