  2. Race adjustment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_adjustment

    Race adjustment, also known as race-correction, [1] [2] is the calculating of a result which takes into account race. [1] It is commonly used in medical algorithms in several specialties, including cardiology, nephrology, urology, obstetrics, endocrinology, oncology and respiratory medicine. [1]

  3. Urn problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urn_problem

    In this basic urn model in probability theory, the urn contains x white and y black balls, well-mixed together. One ball is drawn randomly from the urn and its color observed; it is then placed back in the urn (or not), and the selection process is repeated. [3] Possible questions that can be answered in this model are:

  4. Clinical prediction rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_prediction_rule

    The investigators then obtain a standard set of clinical observations on each patient and a test or clinical follow-up to define the true state of the patient. They then use statistical methods to identify the best clinical predictors of the patient's true state. The probability of disease will depend on the patient's key clinical predictors.

  5. Pólya urn model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pólya_urn_model

    In the basic Pólya urn model, the experimenter puts x white and y black balls into an urn. At each step, one ball is drawn uniformly at random from the urn, and its color observed; it is then returned in the urn, and an additional ball of the same color is added to the urn. If by random chance, more black balls are drawn than white balls in ...

  6. Seven states of randomness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_states_of_randomness

    The seven states of randomness in probability theory, fractals and risk analysis are extensions of the concept of randomness as modeled by the normal distribution. These seven states were first introduced by Benoît Mandelbrot in his 1997 book Fractals and Scaling in Finance , which applied fractal analysis to the study of risk and randomness ...

  7. RAC drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAC_drawing

    RAC drawings of the complete graph K 5 and the complete bipartite graph K 3,4. In graph drawing, a RAC drawing of a graph is a drawing in which the vertices are represented as points, the edges are represented as straight line segments or polylines, at most two edges cross at any point, and when two edges cross they do so at right angles to each other.

    Arm recoil is a neurological examination of neonate for detecting the muscle tone. [1] [2] Procedure ... Leg recoil can be assessed following the same principle. [5]

  9. Acute limb ischaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_limb_ischaemia

    Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) occurs when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to a limb [1] within 14 days of symptoms onset. [2] On the other hand, when the symptoms exceed 14 days, [ 3 ] it is called critical limb ischemia (CLI).
