Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

In genetic analysis, there are often competing explanations for the same data. Sophisticated mathematical models have been developed that can encapsulate these problems in terms of parameters that ...

Introduction: Bayesian data mining methods have been used to evaluate drug safety signals from adverse event reporting systems and allow for evaluation of multiple endpoints that are not prespecified.
