TLDR
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a series of paired comparisons, some of which may be positive and some negative as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) we may have a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a number of paired comparisons leading to a series of differences, some of which may be positive and some negative. The appropriate methods for testing the significance of the differences of the means in these two cases are described in most of the textbooks on statistical methods.

Heterogeneous defect prediction

TL;DR: This paper identifies categories of data sets were as few as 50 instances are enough to build a defect prediction model, and shows that empirically and theoretically, “large enough” may be very small indeed.

Prognostic factors in the diagnosis and treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma

TL;DR: Although surgical resection provided no increase in survival, the addition of chemotherapy to postoperative cranial irradiation significantly enhanced the duration of survival and suggests that pretreatment clinical and diagnostic factors can help in predicting survival and in planning treatment.

Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm With Zoning Evolution of Control Parameters and Adaptive Mutation Strategies

TL;DR: In the proposed algorithm, the mutation strategies are automatically adjusted with population evolution, and the control parameters evolve in their own zoning to self-adapt and discover near optimal values autonomously.

Acute mixed lineage leukemia in children: the experience of St Jude Children's Research Hospital

TL;DR: Analysis of gene-expression patterns identified a subset of biphenotypic leukemias that did not cluster with T-cell ALL, B-progenitor ALL, or AML, and it is suggested that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is often not required for cure of these patients.
