摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper discusses the fitting and use of models for daily rainfall observations. Non‐stationary Markov chains are fitted to the occurrence of rain, and gamma distributions, with parameters which vary with the time of year, are fitted to the rainfall amounts. Numerical methods are used to derive results from these models that are important in agricultural planning. Examples include the distributions of soil water content and lengths of dry spells. The process of fitting and using these models provides a straightforward and flexible analysis for rainfall records.

摘要:
SUMMARYMany attempts have been made to support clinical decisions by formal statistical reasoning, but the practical impact of these efforts has been limited. Developers of “expert systems”, who use the techniques of artificial intelligence to represent clinicians' personal “knowledge”, have suggested one reason for this lack of success may be that the probabilistic methodology itself is often inappropriate to the clinical problems or opaque to the user. We contrast the statistical and “knowledge‐based” paradigms, with an emphasis on their different approaches to the manipulation and explanation of uncertainty. A statistical application to the diagnosis of “dyspepsia” is described, in which data are obtained by computer interview of the patient, and both diseases and symptoms form a hierarchy. We argue that the flexible use of “weights of evidence” overcomes many of the previous criticisms of statistical systems while retaining a valid probabilistic output. We conclude by discussing the complementary roles of deductive and probabilistic reasoning.

摘要:
SUMMARYThe role of computer‐based information services, and specifically online literature searching systems, in access to information relevant to applications of statistics are discussed. The available resources for statistics informationper se, applications of statistics, and background material on applications areas, are outlined. Particular emphasis is placed on biomedical applications of statistics. The strengths and limitations of this approach, compared with traditional printed sources, are described, and future prospects noted.

摘要:
SUMMARYWeighted least squares analysis of categorical data is described for incomplete longitudinal data. It is shown that a simple modification of the well‐known Grizzleet al.(1969) methodology leads to a relatively straightforward analysis of such incomplete data. An example, in which rates of obesity in school‐age children are to be estimated, is used to illustrate the techniques. The analysis is easily performed on conventional computer programs for weighted regression analysis of categorical data.

摘要:
SUMMARYThe square of the multiple correlation coefficient in a regression fit,R2, can be made small simply by increasing the number of repeat data points. It is argued here thatR2is misleading in such cases, and that the Box‐Wetz (1973) criterion, and a simpler but essentially equivalent criterion, are not.
