Based on the agreement of the donor and the partner organisations implementing each intervention, we chose an equal allocation of joint costs for FI and CI based on the equal – proportional to implementing staff number – allocation of office space and equal use of administrative staff and joint programme resources.
A significant gain in the system performance is noticed compared with the case of equal allocation of channel resources and constant quantization parameters.
Randomization was successful in terms of equal allocation of recent meal and distant meal participants to each of the four conditions, as well as in terms of gender, age, BMI status, educational qualification and dieting status (all p > 0.1).
We generated the allocation sequence based on the properties of the institutions that used stratified sampling to put the six institutions into two categories, i.e. veteran home and long term care facility and adopted the principle of equal allocation to encode the two categories respectively.
Assume that a target sample of n participants has to be recruited over s sequences of allocation with equal sizes, that is, participants are recruited in batches of and immediately allocated to groups.
Each card contained a reference to the group to which the child would be allocated, and for each allocation, an equal number of cards (20) were available.
In this section, we first find space confining matrix Q n by using Algorithm 1 in Section 3.1.3 under the condition of equal power allocation and then try to optimize the power allocation without changing Q n.
This system of allocation assumes equal weighting for the M prognostic factors.
For the case of equal power allocation we have.
Observe that the capacity for optimum strategy has about 0.8 dB gain over that of equal power allocation when achieving the same ergodic capacity.
