A blood-based biomarker test aided diagnosis and clinical management of Alzheimer’s disease by detecting brain amyloidosis in symptomatic patients, researchers reported at the Clinical Trials for ...

In 1927, J.B.S. Haldane reasoned that the probability of fixation of new beneficial alleles is twice their fitness effect. This result, later generalized by M. Kimura, has since become the cornerstone ...

This article examines some improperly stated but often used textbook probability problems. Moving from a probabilistic to a statistical setting provides insight into group testing (i.e., observing ...

How likely you think something is to happen depends on what you already believe about the circumstances. That is the simple ...
