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 ...

A century ago, two oddly domestic puzzles helped set the rules for what modern science treats as "real": a Guinness brewer charged with quality control and a British lady insisting she can taste ...

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 ...

One of the coolest things about generative AI models — both large language models (LLMs) and diffusion-based image generators — is that they are "non-deterministic." That is, despite their reputation ...

Non-probability sampling design can be used in ethnobotanical surveys of medicinal plants. However, this method does not allow statistical inferences to be made from the data generated. The aim of ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Ding, Associate Professor from the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, and Dr. LI Shuo-Hui, Research Assistant Professor from the Department of Physics at the Hong ...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a classical algorithm for random sampling of permutations, drawing inspiration from the Steinhaus-Johnson-Trotter algorithm. Our approach takes a comprehensive ...

If you’ve been to Random Sample to see an art exhibition, or watch a live band, or even participate in a book club, you know just where to find its original home. It’s a white cinderblock building ...
