Colorectal cancer statistics, 2020
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Every 3 years, the American Cancer Society provides an update of CRC occur...
Factor Analysis and AIC
The information criterion AIC was introduced to extend the method of maximum likelihood to the multimodel situation. It was obtained by relating the successful experience of the...
Nanobeam Mechanics: Elasticity, Strength, and Toughness of Nanorods and Nanotubes
The Young's modulus, strength, and toughness of nanostructures are important to proposed applications ranging from nanocomposites to probe microscopy, yet there is little direct...
Model Selection and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC): The General Theory and its Analytical Extensions
During the last fifteen years, Akaike's entropy-based Information Criterion (AIC) has had a fundamental impact in statistical model evaluation problems. This paper studies the g...
A point‐charge force field for molecular mechanics simulations of proteins based on condensed‐phase quantum mechanical calculations
Abstract Molecular mechanics models have been applied extensively to study the dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids. Here we report the development of a third‐generation point...
Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
This concise collection of the most important international law instruments is an essential resource for all students of international law. In addition to standard instruments s...
performance: An R Package for Assessment, Comparison and Testing of Statistical Models
A crucial part of statistical analysis is evaluating a model's quality and fit, or performance.During analysis, especially with regression models, investigating the fit of model...
Model Selection and Model Averaging in Phylogenetics: Advantages of Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Approaches Over Likelihood Ratio Tests
Model selection is a topic of special relevance in molecular phylogenetics that affects many, if not all, stages of phylogenetic inference. Here we discuss some fundamental conc...
