Generally, we expect that surveys representing the same target population should produce estimates that are consistent with one another; that is, measures taken at roughly the same time should not ...

Suppose you buy a major asset like a new piece of machinery. Under standard accounting rules, you cannot write off the cost of the machinery in the year you incur the expense. Rather, you have to ...

Individual prediction uncertainty is a key aspect of clinical prediction model performance; however, standard performance metrics do not capture it. Consequently, a model might offer sufficient ...

The paper shows that under very broad conditions the usual theorems concerning the limiting distributions of estimates hold for estimates based on samples selected from finite universes, at random ...

Conflicting findings are often reported in microbiome association studies, which could be due to insufficient sample sizes and numerous confounders. A new study, utilizing two large-scale human ...
