Dichotomizing a continuous outcome variable casts that variable in traditional epidemiologic terms (that is, disease, no disease). One consequence is overall reduced statistical power. A more ...

Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing ...

A new test statistic is proposed for detecting association between two continuous variables. For sample sizes of 20 or more, the statistic's distribution (when the variables are independent) is ...
