✦ Synopsis

For patients of a certain type, a number of treatments are available. The effect of each such treatment is assumed to be described by a shift model; i t is, however, admitted that there may be an interaction between patient and treatment, meaning in particular that the treatment which is best for one patient is not necessarily best for another. The problem is the following: if each patient is given the treatment which is optimal for that particular patient, will this produce a significant effect and, if so, how large is the effect?

We consider the estimation of a failure time distribution F when, instead of N i.i.d. realizations TI, T z , .. . , T N from F, the observations consist of estimates of the Ti. If the T i could be observed, a natural non-parametric estimator of F would be the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Thus, we examine

We consider the problem of making an overall comparison of several treatments to a control where experimental units are randomly assigned to either the 'control' group which receives no treatment or to one of k-1 'treatment' groups. We assume that the effect of the treatments is, if anything, a loca

## Abstract The goal of the present study was to investigate the neuroanatomical basis of arithmetic fact retrieval. The rationale was that areas playing a crucial role in arithmetic fact retrieval should show a systematic increase of activation with increasing retrieval effort. To achieve this goa

Left ventricular stroke distance was measured by Doppler ultrasound in 10 doxorubicin-treated and 10 control patients. Measurements were made 10 min, 2 h and 4 h after drug administration. Stroke distance (a linear analogue of stroke volume) increased significantly from 12.6 cm (S.D. 2.7) before and
