… Suppose now that we sample n items at random from an infinite J)Opulation partitioned into
… Only rows with at least one 1 are observable; in fact, c1 = the number of rows with exactly j I 's…

Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) restores perfusion and
oxygenation in a patient who does not have spontaneous circulation. The evidence with regard …

… We are currently working on generalizing this approach from (j + 1)f j + 1 /f j being linear to
f j + 1 /f j being a ratio of polynomials. Under this extended approach, the true data structure …

… We compare the unknown-q case to this baseline below; for a full discussion, see Bunge
and DiCiccio (2002 unpublished manuscript). In real applications, q is unknown and must be …

Severe ARDS can be complicated by right ventricular (RV) failure. The etiology of RV failure
in ARDS is multifactorial. Vascular alterations, hypoxia, hypercapnia and effects of …

The rRNA approach is the principal tool to study microbial diversity, but it has important biases.
These include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers bias, and relative inefficiency of …

High animal and plant richness in tropical rainforest communities has long intrigued naturalists.
It is unknown if similar hyperdiversity patterns are reflected at the microbial scale with …

We report a ribosomal tag pyrosequencing study of the phylogenetic diversity of Archaea,
Bacteria and Eucarya over a depth profile at the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series Station, ALOHA. …

… To do this, we used the program CatchAll (Bunge, 2011) to compute each of five
nonparametric (Good-Turing, Chao1, ACE, ACE1 and Chao-Bunge) and eight parametric (Poisson; …

Microorganisms are spectacularly diverse phylogenetically, but available estimates of their
species richness are vague and problematic. For example, for comparable environments, the …
