The results for the separate adjustments for rank in high school, IQ, and father's occupation suggested to Becker that the rate for college education for a typical graduate was still consistently higher than that of a typical high-school graduate.
Interestingly, with the aforementioned adjustments Oceania ranks third on this list.
Adjustment for rank in the SDF, smoking, and alcohol use did not change the relation; adjusted geometric means from the lowest to highest categories of waist circumference were 0.76, 1.08, 1.42, 1.74, and 2.46, respectively (trend P < 0.0001).
The effect of normalizing the separation from the ideal solution resulted in a minor adjustment of ranks with rainwater slightly overtaking well water (Table 9).
Admittedly, adjustments change the rank order in comparison to the raw scores, but the three configurations of correction weights result in the same ranking (with only one exception).
Although hospitals' observed and risk-adjusted bleeding ranks were correlated (Spearman ρ: 0.88), individual rankings shifted after risk-adjustment (median Δ rank order: ± 91.5; interquartile range: 37.0, 185.5).
The carrier phase integer ambiguities ( {N}_{r_1{r}_2,i}^{s_1{s}_2} ) and the integer part of ( {upd}_{r_1{r}_2,i}^{A_1{A}_2} ) are linearly dependent which make it impossible to separate them in the least-squares adjustment due to rank deficiency.
As prior research claims that rankings should be based on multiple criteria, not only on research output (see, e.g., Albers 2011), we additionally rely on these journal publication types to measure productivity and want to examine if even small changes like this lead to serious adjustments in the ranking.
Depending on the survey measure selected, case-mix adjustment changed the rank of between 0.4% and 29.8% of practices by more than 10 percentile points.
In our study, any extent of LRP immunoreactivity including strong expression in a minority of cancer cells was associated with an unfavourable prognosis even after individual log-rank adjustments for statistically related prognostic factors.
