A prediction model for colon cancer surveillance data
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.CRC Press, Inc., 2015-08-15)
Improving on analyses of self-reported data in a large-scale health survey by using information from an examination-based survey
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-02-28)
Common data sources for assessing the health of a population of interest include large-scale surveys based on interviews that often pose questions requiring a self-report, such as, ‘Has a doctor or other health professional ...
Effectiveness factor calculations for immobilized enzyme catalysts
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1973-09)
The steady state, nonlinear diffusion equations which describe reactions in constrained enzyme solutions are of great interest in many biological and engineering applications. As in other types of nonlinear differential ...
Rapid protein release from Escherichia coli by chemical permeabilization under fermentation conditions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1992-03-25)
Overall protein release greater than 75% in less than 1 h can be attained by exposing exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells to 0.4 M guanidine plus 0.5% Triton X-100 at 37°C in medium. Cell growth stops immediately ...
On the dynamic order of structured Escherichia coli growth models
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1987-04-20)
Reliable dynamic descriptions of cellular growth are important for many practical applications including bioreactor design and control. A chemically structured growth model of Escherichia coli has been formulated and ...
An econometric method for estimating population parameters from non‐random samples: An application to clinical case finding
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Centre for Tuberculosis, 2017-09)
The problem of sample selection complicates the process of drawing inference about populations. Selective sampling arises in many real world situations when agents such as doctors and customs officials search for targets ...
Modeling intra-tumor protein expression heterogeneity in tissue microarray experiments
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-05-20)
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) measure tumor-specific protein expression via high-density immunohistochemical staining assays. They provide a proteomic platform for validating cancer biomarkers emerging from large-scale DNA ...
Problems in the estimation and interpretation of the reliability of survey data
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-09)
In this paper I discuss several of the difficulties involved in estimating the reliability of survey measurement. Reliability is defined on the basis of classical true-score theory , as the correlational consistency of ...
Confidence intervals with fixed proportional accuracy
(Elsevier, 1986-1987)
The problem of setting a confidence interval with fixed proportional accuracy for the mean of a normal distribution is considered. A sequential procedure is proposed; and asymptotic expansions for its average coverage ...
Singh's theorem in the lattice case
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
The asymptotic behavior of the parametric bootstrap estimator of the sampling distribution of a maximum likelihood estimator is investigated in a simple lattice case, integer valued random variables whose distributions ...
