The selective survival hypothesis suggests that RMI for blacks should be reduced relative to whites as the black population is increasingly composed of more robust individuals.
13 14 However, this phenomenon could also be an artefact of selection due to the unobserved characteristics of the individuals: selective effects of earlier higher mortality, experienced by the disadvantaged group, would leave more robust individuals at old ages, causing the convergence with the risk of the lower mortality group that is subject to weaker selection.
We move towards a more robust theory of individual behavior in mechanism design by allowing hierarchies of players with varying but bounded "depths of rationality".
The new platform aims to fix that, offering a more robust solution for individual and enterprise users.
Combined analysis of the nucleotide sequence from the three vlm gene regions, vlm1, vlm1/2 and vlm2, resulted in a more robust phylogeny than individual data sets using MP and BI analyses.
In addition, combinations of candidate proteins/peptides can often create a more robust test when individual proteins/peptides fail to discriminate between two groups [ 34].
Due to its multidimensionality, the health score provided a more robust assessment of individual health levels than a single overall self-rated general health question and was subsequently used as the health outcome variable in the planned analyses (10, 11).
Yet, as we have pointed out above, objectivity in psychiatry has led to a more robust stratification of individuals into different diagnostic categories and this is a logical prerequisite to good-quality, replicable research with all the eventual clinical benefits thereof.
We believe that duo-type resistive sensors offer a more robust sensing solution than individual sensors or even sensor pairs.
The two scores represent a more robust value of the individual's levels of LGI and ED, as they reduce the influence of biological variability expected when LGI and ED should be characterized by levels of each biomarker separately [ 25].
