The conventional Pap test is highly effective for screening of cervical cancer and its precursors but has a false negative rate due to either sampling, preparation or screening. New technologies, such as liquid-based Paps, automated screening devices and high-risk (HR) HPV testing by molecular methods, have been introduced to increase the detection of cervical disease. Two liquid-based technolo...

ANN in High Dimensions

1.1 Hypercube and Hamming distance Definition 1.1 The set of points Hd = {0, 1} is the d-dimensional hypercube. A point p = (p1, . . . , pd) ∈ Hd can be interpreted, naturally, as a binary string p1p2 . . . pd. The Hamming distance dH(p, q) between p, q ∈ Hd, is the number of coordinates where p and q disagree. It is easy to verify that the Hamming distance comply with the triangle inequality, ...

Count data obtained in developmental toxicity-teratogenicity studies, such as the number of fetal deaths or the number of malformed fetuses per litter, are routinely analyzed by univariate statistical methods. Such methods ignore the dependence among the different outcomes that are measured in the study. Tests of significance based upon the individual outcomes may lead to incorrect conclusions ...
