Two methods of setting confidence intervals for test scores and testing the significance of test score differences are compared with respect to their simplicity and the similarity of their results. The conventional method, which is based on obtained scores, is unquestionably simpler than the technic

โฆ Synopsis
Vocabulary and Abstraction scores on the Shipley Institute of Living Scale are used to illustrate the relation between unusual test score combinations and unusual test score differences. It is demonstrated that a combination of two scores can be unusual even though the corresponding difference is not and that a difference between two scores can be unusual even though the corresponding combination is not. Clinicians should be aware that although the two methods of pattern analysis generally will lead to the same conclusion, they need not do so.

We describe two ways of optimizing score functions for protein sequence to structure threading. The first method adjusts parameters to improve sequence to structure alignment. The second adjusts parameters so as to improve a score function's ability to rank alignments calculated in the first score f
