The dissection of the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, including the number and locations of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and their main and epistatic effects, has been an important topic ...

We review Bayesian and Bayesian decision theoretic approaches to subgroup analysis and applications to subgroup-based adaptive clinical trial designs. Subgroup analysis refers to inference about ...

When successive randomized trials contradict prior evidence, clinicians may be unsure how to evaluate them: Does accumulating evidence warrant changing practice? An increasingly popular solution, ...

Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

Data from many applied fields exhibit both heavy tail and skewness behavior. For this reason, in the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in exploring parametric classes of ...

Strong and temporally precise coupling between frontal slow oscillations and fast spindles consistently predicts memory retention across conditions, supporting its role as a fundamental mechanism in ...
