The first approach uses the idea that physical and social characteristics of a place shape health related behaviors of the whole group over and above the influence of aggregate attributes of individuals (Bernard et al., 2007; Cummins et al., 2007; Macintyre et al., 2002).
An EMR data cube is a complex of EMR statistics that are summarized or aggregated by all possible combinations of attributes.
This said, we did re-estimate the aggregate model by holding constant the number of attributes (which also required dropping the intercept to avoid the dummy variable trap).
Using the techniques described in Additional file 3, the overall relative importances of attributes at both individual and aggregate (group) levels, and shifts in utility values between each level within each attribute were calculated (see additional files).
Mill argues that a number is an attribute of an aggregate of units.
The occupational dimension is construed as a well-defined, rather narrow, attribute of an aggregate of individuals who derive their livelihood from agricultural production, or perhaps more broadly from employment in extractive industries, such as mining, fishing, forestry, and so on.
Many of thebeneficial effects of spheroidal aggregate culture are attributed to the retention of a three-dimensional cytoarchitecture, the presence of key extracellular matrix components, and the establishment of important cell-cell contacts (Landry et al., 1985; Takabatake et al., 1991; Yuasa et al., 1993; Luebke-Wheeler et al., 2009; Sakai et al., 2010a; Sakai et al., 2010b).
This effect was greatly minimized by using carbon-carbon double bond rich ZQ172 silane as a coupling agent and modifier of the aggregate, attributed to decreased polarity of the aggregate after modification.
Starting with the postulate that no single metric will capture all the attributes of a prediction, we used an aggregate of three metrics for evaluation.
A special and holistic approach is needed that captures aggregate attributes and emergent behaviors of the complex system of infrastructure systems in a region.
