Sampling allows archaeologists to draw conclusions about a site or region using only a fraction of the area. Because excavation is destructive and funding is limited, leaving parts unexcavated can be ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

A relatively simple statistical analysis method can more accurately predict the risk of landslides caused by heavy rain, according to a study coordinated by Brazilian researchers affiliated with the ...

Many healthcare providers feel that UPIC audits often fall short, with flawed sampling and extrapolation techniques that dramatically exaggerate overpayment findings, exposing providers to undue ...
