Intraocular pressure adjusted for central corneal thickness as a screening tool for open-angle glaucoma in an at-risk population.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of intraocular pressure (IOP) adjusted for central corneal thickness (CCT) screening for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in an at-risk population. STUDY DESIGN: Community-based screening clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred and ... Read more...

BI-RADS lesion characteristics predict likelihood of malignancy in breast MRI for masses but not for nonmasslike enhancement.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the predictive features of BI-RADS lesion characteristics and the risk of malignancy for mammographically and clinically occult lesions detected initially on breast MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We ... Read more...

Factors associated with cognition in adults: the Seattle Longitudinal Study.

29 Sep 2009 A better understanding of factors that affect cognition could lead to improved health and greater independence for older adults. We examined the association of four modifiable factors (leisure-time physical activity, leisure-time cognitive activity, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Likelihood Functions'

Definition: Functions constructed from a statistical model and a set of observed data which give the probability of that data for various values of the unknown model parameters. Those parameter values that maximize the probability are the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters.
