In alternative health care iridology is used as a diagnostic aid. The diagnosis of gall bladder disease was used to study its validity and interperformer consistency. The presence of an inflamed gall bladder containing gall stones is said to be easily recognised by certain signs in the lower lateral part of the iris of the right eye. Stereo colour slides were made of the right eye. Stereo colou...

The perception of visceral signals plays a crucial role in many theories of emotions. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between interoceptive awareness and emotion-related brain activity. 44 participants (16 male, 28 female) first underwent a heartbeat perception task and then were categorised either as good (n = 22) or poor heartbeat perceivers (n = 22). A total of...

objective(s): microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules.   materials and methods: in this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-l-lysine (pll). some of the aldehyde groups of the activated agaro...

Example For example, let X 2 1, ..., Xn be a random sample from distribution N(μ, σ ) with σ known and μ ∈ M. Suppose our hypothesis is that μ ∈ M1 for some M1 ⊂ M, i.e. M1 is some subset of M. It is called the null hypothesis. It is denoted as H0 : μ ∈ M1. Then the alternative hypothesis is that μ ∈/ M1, i.e. μ ∈ M\M1. It is denoted as Ha : μ ∈/ M\M1. For example, if M1 = μ0 and M = {μ : μ ≥ μ...

So far, we have been considering point estimation. In this lecture, we will study interval estimation. Let X denote our data. Let θ ∈ R be our parameter of interest. Our task is to construct a data-dependent interval [l(X), r(X)] so that it contains θ with large probability. One possibility is to set l(X) = −∞ and r(X) = +∞. Such an interval will contain θ with probabity 1. Of course, the probl...
