## Abstract We have critically examined the nude mouse model for human retinoblastoma to determine whether or not characteristics found in the parent tumor are retained in the mouse. We have demonstrated that most tumors grown in the anterior chamber of the nude mouse maintain a similar karyotype,
A theoretical model for the distribution of authorships is developed. This model, the shifted Waring distribution, and 15 other discrete probability models are tested for goodness-of-fit against 94 data sets collected from six fields (engineering sciences, medical sciences, physical sciences, mathem
