TLDR
An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.Abstract:
This Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A. Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets the needs of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-date coverage of this important statistical area. Like its predecessor, the revised edition, along with its companion ftp site, aims to equip readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for a given situation. An extensive array of examples drawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to use nonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.read more

Geographic patterns of coral bioerosion: A productivity hypothesis
TL;DR: Measurements of the basal, margin of live tissue, and maximum circumstances of the coral heads indicate that western Atlantic massive corals have more of their skeletal surface exposed to borers, than do Indo-Pacific corals, which suggests that they are more likely to be dislodged during storms.

Corticosteroids in life-threatening varicella pneumonia.
Mervyn Mer,Guy A. Richards +1 more
TL;DR: When used in addition to appropriate supportive care and early institution of antiviral therapy, corticosteroids appear to be of value in the treatment of previously well patients with life-threatening varicella pneumonia.

EEG classification of different imaginary movements within the same limb.
Xinyi Yong,Carlo Menon +1 more
TL;DR: A 3-class BCI system that discriminates EEG signals corresponding to rest, imaginary grasp movements, and imaginary elbow movements is proposed, and it is demonstrated that same-limb motor imagery classification is possible and that goal-oriented imaginary elbows lead to a better classification performance compared to simple imaginary elbows.

Loss function assumptions in rational expectations tests on financial analysts' earnings forecasts
Sudipta Basu,Stanimir Markov +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that financial analysts likely face a linear loss function, and hence try to minimize their absolute forecast errors, and conduct and compare rational expectations tests using these two alternative loss functions.

Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate adaptive evolution in gene regulatory circuits
Carlos Espinosa-Soto,Carlos Espinosa-Soto,Olivier C. Martin,Andreas Wagner,Andreas Wagner,Andreas Wagner +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that plasticity facilitates the origin of genotypes that produce a new phenotype in response to non-genetic perturbations, and selection can then stabilize the new phenotype genetically, allowing it to become a circuit's dominant gene expression phenotype.
