Spurious Interpretation

The interpretation of spurious correlations in coronary flow literature.

Spurious Hyperleukocytosis

Hyperleukocytosis is an oncological emergency but is extremely rare in non-malignant conditions. Nucleated RBCs give rise to spuriously high total leucocyte count and cause clinical dilemma. Thalassemia major patients are known to have leucocytosis even after correction for nucleated RBCs. We report a case of undiagnosed Thalassemia major in a 4 month old infant with total leucocyte count highe...

Digitizing the act of papyrological interpretation: negotiating spurious exactitude and genuine uncertainty

The act of papyrological interpretation is a continuous thought process that unravels non-linearly (Youtie, 1963; Terras, 2006). Throughout this sense-making process, ancient and scarcely legible documents progress from the status of pure physical objects to that of meaningful historical artefacts. Within the eScience and Ancient Documents project,1 we aim to make explicit some of the implicit ...

Spurious Regression

The spurious regression phenomenon in least squares occurs for a wide range of data generating processes, such as driftless unit roots, unit roots with drift, long memory, trend and brokentrend stationarity. Indeed, spurious regressions have played a fundamental role in the building of modern time series econometrics and have revolutionized many of the procedures used in applied macroeconomics....
