New growth demands in the bandwidth requirements for short and long reach electrical channels have pushed the performance limitations of traditional linear passive interconnects such as high-speed backplanes and connectors. Most chip and system vendors regard 3Gbps data rates over copper as mature technology today and are rapidly prototyping 6Gbps and 10Gbps hardware. Original standardisation w...

In empiricalmodeling, an important desiderata for deeming theoretical entities and processes as real is that they can be reproducible in a statistical sense. Current day crises regarding replicability in science intertwines with the question of how statistical methods link data to statistical and substantive theories and models. Different answers to this question have important methodological c...

Various response measures and statistical methods appropriate for the analysis of data collected in the SENCAR mouse skin assay are examined. The characteristics of the tumor response data do not readily lend themselves to the classical methods for hypothesis testing. The advantages and limitations of conventional methods of analysis and methods recommended in the literature are discussed. Seve...

Yuan-chin Ivan Chang, Academia Sinica Assessing the Predictive Power of Newly Added Biomarkers As medical research and technology advance, there are always new biomarkers found and predictive models proposed for improving the diagnostic performance of diseases. Therefore, in addition to the existing biomarkers and predictive models, how to assess new biomarkers becomes an important research pro...
