Using web data for linguistic purposes
The world wide web is a mine of language data of unprecedented richness and ease of access (Kilgarriff and Grefenstette 2003). A growing body of studies has shown that simple algorithms using web-based evidence are successful at many linguistic tasks, often outperforming sophisticated methods based on smaller but more controlled data sources (cf. Turney 2001; Keller and Lapata 2003). Most curre...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis Methods for the fMRI Data
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur in active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts of br...
متن کاملUsing administrative data for research: the importance of appropriate statistical techniques
Introduction Administrative data routinely collected at hospitals are attractive for researchers: they are large, often exhaustive, and of relatively easy access. However, they are not intended for research, and they lack the clinical details of observational studies or clinical trials. Researchers thus face a trade-off between using large but incomplete databases versus using detailed but ofte...
متن کاملRoutine use of administrative data for safety and quality purposes--hospital mortality.
Worldwide, current practice is to report hospital mortality using the hospital standardised mortality ratio (HSMR). An HSMR is generated by comparing an indirectly standardised expected mortality rate against a hospital's observed mortality rate. A hospital's HSMR can be compared with the overall outcomes for all hospitals in a population, or with peer hospitals. HSMRs should be used as screeni...
متن کاملSurveillance as a Service? On the Use of Surveillance Data for Administrative Purposes
For law enforcement purposes, authorities may either use a method of indiscriminate control or an investigative approach aimed at (finding) a particular suspect of law-breaking behavior. By applying data matching technologies, indiscriminately collected surveillance data are combined with data from other sources to select individual citizens. Inspired by insights from behavioral research, these...
