Multiple event data are frequently encountered in medical follow-up, engineering and other applications when the multiple events are considered as the major outcomes. They may be repetitions of the ...

The frequency of left-handedness in the general population is around 11%. Both environmental and genetic models have been proposed to explain the aetiology of human handedness. The majority of genetic ...

The paper compares non-parametric (design-based) and parametric (model-based) approaches to the analysis of data in the form of replicated spatial point patterns in two or more experimental groups.

We have performed a genome scan using 25 nuclear families consisting of right-handed parents with at least two left-handed children. Handedness was assessed as a qualitative trait using a laterality ...

This short course will provide an overview of non-parametric statistical techniques. The course will first describe what non-parametric statistics are, when they should be used, and their advantages ...

Analysis of variance is sensitive to the distribution of the error term. If the error term is not normally distributed, the statistics based on normality can be ...

We present an empirical analysis of changes in firm size distribution (FSD), using micro-data for Japanese firms. Two major viewpoints are adopted for the analysis. One is how FSD changes in response ...

Parametric CFD analysis lets users statistically determine the fluid flow around a device. Fluid dynamics is one of the primary engineering sciences used to design a wide variety of vehicles, machines ...

The following analysis of the Helsinki Guggenheim competition entries was contributed by Federico Reyneri, partner at LPzR associates architects, and his research team. Architects have always pushed ...
