Most standard statistical methods treat numerical data as if they were real (infinitenumber- of-decimal-places) observations. The issue of quantization or digital resolution is recognized by engineers and metrologists, but is largely ignored by statisticians and can render standard statistical...

It is argued that a main aim of statistics is to produce statistical procedures which in this article are defined as algorithms with inputs and outputs. The structure and properties of such procedures are investigated with special reference to topological and testing considerations. Procedures...

The structural analysis of proteins is fundamental to the analysis of protein functions. In this context, sequence-structure alignment methods are important among the different empirical methods. In order to assess the quality of sequence-structure alignments, a statistical method using a...
