However, the resulting survival functions may not be a reasonable reflection of the difference between the treatment arms over a clinically relevant time span.
Curves are drawn for the irrigation relevant time span (until 3 weeks before harvest, see Methods section and Table 1).
The principal methodological problem in these studies was estimating domestic radon exposure during the relevant time span, possibly extending across the full lifespan.
In general, the rate of mutations linked to classic Mendelian and complex diseases does not seem to have significantly increased within the relevant time span [ 8- 10].
Early inequalities in health need to be addressed promptly and at the relevant time span to maximize individual and public health benefits.
Using this approach, the actual incremental CE, i.e. incremental CE based on the total population cost and health over a real-time period, can also be computed, which would be useful to inform a decision that affects all actual patients in the healthcare system over a series of relevant time spans determined by a decision maker.
For elephant detection, a purely temporal ground truth, which provides only begin and end frame numbers of relevant time spans, would be sufficient in general.
Nor do Baumeister and Tierney worry enough that their theory, without some precision about the relevant time spans, can be stretched to explain anything: when people resist one temptation but not another, it's because their egos have been fatigued by exercise; when they resist temptations across the board, it's because their egos have been strengthened by exercise.
The rational to do so is that (additional) carcinogenic effects of test substances can be detected more effectively in rats that develop tumours at a relevant rate within the time span of a 2-year trial.
A pregnancy with several serological checks is not a time point but a time span.
All the babies were born over a short time span, and our findings are relevant to current practice.
