Rainbow trout cystatin C cDNA has been isolated from
trout liver. The full-length cystatin cDNA (674 bp)
included the 5'untranslated region and the polyadenylation
signal sequence AATAAA in the 3' region. Translation of
the cDNA defines 132 amino acid residues. Comparison of
the amino acid sequence with those of family...
Consider the c- sample testing problem with null hypothesis H[subscript]o : F₁(x) = ... = F[subscript]c(x), where F[subscript]j(x), j = 1 ..., c, represent
absolutely continuous distribution functions for failure distributions.
Furthermore, consider arbitrarily (right) censored samples, which
may arise from putting the (censored) experimental units on test at
different...
