INTRODUCTION Lung cancer survival is low and comparatively poor in the UK. Patients with symptoms suggestive of lung cancer commonly consult primary care, but it is unclear how general practitioners (GPs) distinguish which patients require further investigation. This study examined how patients' clinical and sociodemographic characteristics influence GPs' decisions to initiate lung cancer inves...

متن کاملUsing orientation statistics to investigate variations in human kinematics
This paper applies orientation statistics to investigate variations in upper limb posture of human subjects drilling at six different locations on a vertical panel. Some of the drilling locations are kinematically equivalent in that the same posture could be used for these locations. Upper limb posture is measured by recording the co-ordinates of four markers attached to the subject's hand, for...
متن کاملAnother Factorial File Compression Experiment Using SAS
Continuing experimental work on SAS data set compression presented at NESUG in 2004, I designed another two-factor factorial experiment. My first factor compares the three kinds of data set compression offered by SAS on UNIX; the SAS DATA set OPTIONS COMPRESS=CHAR, COMPRESS=BINARY and SAS sequential format files created with the V9TAPE engine, three UNIX file compression algorithms; compress, g...
