Statistical Data Editing (SDE) is the process of checking data for errors and correcting them. Winkler (1999) defined it as the set of methods used to edit (i.e., clean up) and impute (fill in) missing or contradictory data. The result of SDE is data that can be used for analytic purposes. Editing literature goes back to the 1960s with the contributions of Nordbotten (1965), Pritzker, et al. (1...

computational errors in numerical data processing may be detected efficiently by using parity values associated with real number codes, even when inherent round off errors are allowed in addition to failure disruptions. this paper examines correcting turbo codes by straightforward application of an algorithm derived for finite-field codes, modified to operate over any field. there are syndromes...

i read with interest the papers written by peyghambari et al (2008) and niknafs et al   nd   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   (1994) did not observe any   advantage in the pregnancy rates when adding estrogen+progesterone at luteal phase in patients undergoing ivf (6). in conclusion, the mechanism of luteal phase support in assisted reproduction is complex and a controver...

Draft please do not cite without permission Acknowledgements: Thanks to Dewi Owen and Ron Johnston for their help; neither is responsible for what we have written. Abstract Reither et al. (2009) use a Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohort model (HAPC-Yang & Land, 2006) to assess changes in obesity in the USA population. Their results suggest that there is only a minimal effect of cohorts, and that it ...

THE VARIABILITY OF SEQUENCE-SPACE SYNESTHESIA Sequence-space synesthesia (SSS) is a common condition in which ordinal sequences such as months, numbers or the letters of the alphabet are perceived to occupy spatial locations in the mind’s eye or peripersonal or extrapersonal space (e.g., Price and Mentzoni, 2008; Jonas and Jarick, 2013). For example, thinking about a month may elicit the visuos...
