The phrase "alternate value" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a different option or substitute for a particular value, often in technical or mathematical discussions.
Example: "In the event of an error, the system will revert to an alternate value to ensure continuity."
Alternatives: "alternative value" or "substitute value."
Sensitivity analyses that imputed domains with missing items to the alternate values yielded similar results.
For step #2, we use five cross-validation folds by default; the user can specify alternate values for k.
The conclusion also changes when alternate values for the rate of transmission with no treatment are applied.
Using alternate values (California Air Resources Board 2004) for these chronic benchmarks will result in substantial differences in results for some pollutants.
As a sensitivity analysis, a second set of models was run to impute the missing domain values to the alternate values.
The numbers in the table show the difference between the real relative difference from formula (1.1) and the relative difference calculated with these alternate values for c and d.
We use the radial basis function SVM kernel with default parameters as implemented in the scikit-learn framework [ 31], which uses LibSVM [ 32]; it is also possible to specify alternate values for the cost and gamma parameters.
To obtain the mixing-height-averaged wind speed, we employed a truncated power-law relationship for wind speed versus height (see the Supporting Information).We used literature-recommended values for the vertical interpolation of wind speed as default input parameters and considered alternate values in sensitivity analyses (see the Supporting Information).
For example, decisions about exacerbation event duration, assumptions about treatment adherence, or definitions of exacerbations that could vary by the number of days between a doctor's visit with a primary respiratory diagnosis and an outpatient claim for an OCS, may need to be tested across a range of alternate values to see what impact these assumptions may have had on the final results.
