Prediction Intervals

3.4K
The interval estimate of any variable is known as the prediction interval. It helps decide if a point estimate is dependable.
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

What is Population Genetics?

64.7K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot01:07

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot

1.2K
A Gran plot is used to predict the equivalence volume or endpoint of a potentiometric or acid-base titration without reaching the endpoint. Typically, titration data is collected as a function of the titrant's volume up to a point less than the equivalence volume and then transformed into a linear format. The straight line is extended to the x-axis, indicating the necessary titrant volume to achieve the equivalence point.
For potentiometric titration, the Gran plot is created by plotting...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology of Health and Illness
  • Medical Sociology
  • Genetics and Identity

Background:

  • Predictive genetic testing clinics facilitate access to genetic tests for dominantly inherited diseases.
  • Social science literature has overlooked the sociology of identity within these clinics.
  • Focus is on how healthy patients at risk perceive a future identity of illness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of identity in predictive genetic testing.
  • To examine how patients authenticate their decision to undergo testing for Huntington's Disease (HD).
  • To explore authentic decision-making through the lens of Habermas's theory.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of patient decision-making processes.
  • Examination of four themes: vouching, calibrating, reassuring, and projecting.
  • Analysis of the role of non-directive counselling in decision authentication.

Main Results:

  • Patients assert their desire for the test and their ability to cope with positive results.
  • Decision authentication involves vouching, calibrating, reassuring, and projecting.
  • Non-directive counselling aids articulation and probing of decisions but risks hindering authenticity.

Conclusions:

  • Identity and the anticipation of future illness are crucial in predictive genetic testing.
  • Authentic decision-making is a complex process involving personal and social factors.
  • Counselling must support, not hinder, the patient's authentication of their testing decision.
