Understanding combat casualty care statistics.
Maintaining good hospital records during military conflicts can provide medical personnel and researchers with feedback to rapidly adjust treatment strategies and improve outcomes. But to convert the resulting raw data into meaningful conclusions requires clear terminology and well thought out equations, utilizing consistent numerators and denominators. Our objective was to arrive at terminolog...
متن کاملPRC bisection tests.
This communication presents a new method for evaluating phase response curves (PRCs). A PRC describes the phase shifts produced in an oscillator by stimuli applied at different initial phase-states of that oscillator. In the PRC bisection tests, we repeatedly cut in half the circular distribution of the initial phase-states of the oscillator when stimuli are given. Empirically, we locate that o...
متن کاملUnderstanding Changes in Aggregate Business Fixed Investment
On average, higher levels of such investments raise production by increasing the productivity of the labor force. While the significance of shortterm changes in business investment is less widely recognized, the importance of such changes for the business cycle has been known to economists since the beginning of the last century. For example, many believe that the current record expansion has b...
متن کاملUnderstanding Investment Irreversibility in General Equilibrium
In general equilibrium, irreversibility a ects both the wealth of consumers and the return on assets. As long as the inter-temporal elasticity of substitution is realistically low, irreversibility not only prevents capital destruction, but it also induces capital creation. Furthermore, under certain conditions, irreversibility raises the risk premium by increasing the variability of consumption...
متن کاملGeometric Understanding of Likelihood Ratio Statistics
It is well-known that twice a log-likelihood ratio statistic follows asymptotically a -distribution. The result is usually understood and proved via Taylor's expansions of likelihood functions and by assuming asymptotic normality of maximum likelihood estimators. We contend that more fundamental insights can be obtained for likelihood ratio statistics: the Wilks type of results hold as long as ...
