Hi... I have to use R to find out the 90% confidence-interval for the sensitivity and specificity of the following diagnostic test: A particular diagnostic test for multiple sclerosis was conducted on 20 MS patients and 20 healthy subjects, 6 MS patients were classified as healthy and 8 healthy subjects were classified as suffering from the MS. Furthermore, I need to find the number of MS patients required for a sensitivity of 1%... Is there a simple R-command which can do tha...

Dear mailing list, Genomics Medicine Ireland is opening new positions for our bioinformatics team. The team will analyse the ?omics data produced at GMI, which currently includes disease cohorts such as IBD, Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, rare diseases, cancer and recently we have opened programs in diabetes and asthma. Our work will also focus on ancestry related topics, namely how population genetics can increase the power of disease analysis. We are building a team of cognitively diverse people, that will feed...

...PCA on these histograms (specifically the group averaged one) to come up with the first few eigenvectors/PC scores that would summarize the information contained in the histograms. Some medical papers have done this (Dehmeshki J, Ruto AC, Arridge S...(2001) : Analysis Of MTR histograms in multiple sclerosis using PC and muliple LDA") maybe using some medical softwares. However, It would be great to know if there are any R functions that can do this. Thanks and regards, Dhiman Bhadra Dhiman Bhadra Graduate Assistant. Department of Statistics. University of Florida.

...is my favorite computer tool (no kidding) and there are plenty of knowledgable and helpful people on the list. Background: There are discussions among experts and regulatory authorities (cf guideline http://www.emea.europa.eu/pdfs/human/ewp/056598en.pdf) that, in for example Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a functional endpoint (respiratory function, muscular testing, rating scale) should be associated (co-primary, 2 primaries etc..) to survival in drug trials. My problem: I wish to illustrate that from my point of view and when you have a drug that improves survival this is not what you should do...

for recent code changes I find myself needing some workarounds for MSVC6: 1st, I need a fast way to swap bytes (for endianness) of a 32-bit int. I could not find a builtin like bswap; the closest thing I found was ntohl() which appears to be a function call and also requires linking with winsock2 (ws2_32.lib) to get it. 2nd, I need an equivalent for lround() (or round() is ok), which is not in
