The splitting design that leads to simple random sampling

Implementing unequal probability sampling, without replacement, is very complex and several methods have been suggested for its performance, including : Midseno design and systematic design. One of the methods that have been introduced by Devil and Tille (1998) is the splitting design that leads to simple random sampling .in this paper by completely explaining the design, with an example, we ha...

Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random

The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

Mentorship: The Bond that Brings Us Together

By the time you read this, the 37 annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience will be underway, or will have come and gone. This year also marks the 16 anniversary of Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN), the parent organization of JUNE. Like many of you, I look forward to the SfN meeting, not just to learn more about neuroscience and how to teach neuroscience more effectively, but a...

MicroRNAs that target RGS5

Objective(s):An earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cDNA library, and one SAGE experiment had identified RGS5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells by all studies. RGS5 encodes regulator of G-protein signaling-5. The TM tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is r...
