Many factors are known to influence physiologic jaundice in premature infants. However no studies have been reported of the effect intra-uterine growth retardation or malnutrition has upon the average serum bilirubin concentrations in "small for dates" infants. It has been a policy in the nurseries of the University of Vermont Hospitals to do serum bilirubins on all low birth weight infants (2,500 gm or less) on the fourth to sixth day of life. Any infant with a positive Coomb's test or clinical evidence of A.B.O. incompatibility was excluded from this review.

This chapter examines and searches for evidence of fraud in two clinical data sets from a highly publicized case of scientific misconduct. In this case, data were falsified by Eric Poehlman, a faculty member at the University of Vermont, who pleaded guilty to fabricating more than a decade of data, some connected to federal grants from the National Institutes of Health. Poehlman had authored influential studies on many topics; including obesity, menopause, lipids, and aging. The chapter's classical Benford analysis along with a presentation of a more general class of Benford-like distributions highlights interesting insights into this and similar cases. In addition, this chapter demonstrates how information-theoretic methods and other data-adaptive methods are promising tools for generating benchmark distributions of first significant digits (FSDs) and examining data sets for departures from expectations.
