The International Egg Commission provides an alternate estimate of the number of laying hens in China: 800– 1,000 million [ 44].
Finally, by summing CFs over contigs (or unigenes) we can compute a "reverse rarefaction," an alternate estimate of transcript discovery based on the number of proteins matching the assemblies.
We find the previous recommendation that sample size be at least doubled, consistent with DE = 2, underestimates true DE and recommend researchers use DE = 4 as an alternate estimate when calculating sample size.
We also repeated the analysis using the alternate estimate of the rescaled IQ dose response coefficient for the Faroe Islands study, where the rescaled coefficient uses the standard deviation of the latent variable from the SEM.
We appreciate the alternate estimate that Noonan et al. have offered, although we would argue that their estimate likely includes a significant number of individuals with only intermittent exposure to high levels of HAP.
The Bayesian model was also rerun with the alternate estimate of the IQ dose response coefficient for the Faroe Islands, where the IQ coefficient from the SEM analysis was rescaled using the estimated standard deviation of the latent variable (0.586) rather than the standard deviation of the Digit Span subtest (1.45).

Additional techniques from the contemporary evaluation toolkit include: use of propensity scoring for matching and covariance adjustment, multilevel modeling, alternate estimates of the counterfactual, and sensitivity analyses to empirically test the plausibility of validity threats.
We have also included alternate estimates of these outcomes (derived from the U.S. population).
We also assessed the impact of using alternate estimates of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and mortality derived from the U.S. population [29], limiting prioritization of individuals with underlying medical conditions in the risk-based strategies to those under 65 years of age, and applying a limited vaccine supply scenario.
However, since these estimates were larger than those expected from other Bactrocera genomes [ 21, 22], we sought alternate estimates of genome size.
There are several different strategies for estimating both α and β, but the most reliable appears to be the use of alternating estimating equations, whereby a second estimating equation is written for α, and the algorithm proceeds with alternating iterative estimation of α and β [ 13, 15].

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
