The Molecular Profiling Lottery: More Accuracy, Less Precision, and No Cost

AccucheckInform II: About Its Accuracy and Precision

Paying surgeons less has cost more.

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 mandated reductions in physician reimbursement. This reduction in payments could be envisioned to limit expenditures on 2 counts: first, individual fees would be lower, producing inherent savings. Furthermore, reducing fees should depress the incentive to work, thereby generating additional savings from reduced output. A rival point of view holds that lower fees ...

Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics

Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...

More on the No-dp Analysis of Article-less Languages*

This reply shows that arguments against the no-DP analysis (Bošković 2005, 2008), according to which article-less languages do not have DP, given in Pereltsvaig 2007) do not go through. Additionally, it is shown that ordering restrictions on demonstratives, possessives, and adjectives in Serbo-Croation follow from the semantics of the elements in question. These elements can be generated in any...

More-Or-Less Elicitation (MOLE) 1 Running head: MORE-OR-LESS ELICITATION (MOLE) More-Or-Less Elicitation (MOLE): Improving the Accuracy and Calibration of Estimates

Eliciting numerical estimates from people is a central challenge for psychology. Cognitive biases can affect estimates, making it challenging to measure what people know or believe. We present a novel elicitation method, More-Or-Less Elicitation (MOLE) that, rather than having people make a single, absolute judgment, asks for repeated, relative judgments across the range of possible estimates a...
