Since the turn of the millennium, a large number of computational models of visual salience have been put forward. How best to evaluate a given model's ability to predict where human observers fixate in images of real-world scenes remains an open research question. Assessing the role of spatial biases is a challenging issue; this is particularly true when we consider the tendency for high-salie...

1 Methods for inference and interpretation of evolutionary quantitative genetic pa2 rameters, and for prediction of the response to selection, are best developed for traits 3 with normal distributions. Many traits of evolutionary interest, including many life 4 history and behavioural traits, have inherently non-normal distributions. The gen5 eralised linear mixed model (GLMM) framework has bec...

background and objectives: invasive and non-invasive techniques are used to diagnose h. pylori infection. some factors influence the choice of a diagnostic test, such as the sensitivity and specificity of the tests, the clinical circumstances and the cost-effectiveness of the testing strategy. the aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between different h. pylori infection diagnosis m...
