For one page compared with four or more pages, and for two or more pages compared with longer alternatives, the odds ratios per one page increase were 0.90 (95% CI 0.83 to 0.98) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.96 to 0.99), respectively.
Mr. Brennan's assertions that the government only resorts to lethal force when "there is no other alternative" is at odds with reports of vastly increased drone strikes.
On Monday they released an alternative plan at odds with Treasury's basic proposal.
Following Martin and White ([2005]: 124), such formulations are contractive because they 'represent the shared value or belief' and in so doing, 'exclude any dialogistic alternatives', and at the same time 'position any who would advance such an alternative as at odds with what is purportedly generally agreed upon or known'.
An alternative approach using odds ratios (OR) for reporting effects is proposed.
CM, Chinese medical; WM, western medical; CAM, complementary and alternative medicine; OR, odds ratio; Cl, confidence interval.
Last, we planned to test the robustness of our primary (mortality) results in sensitivity analyses by using fixed-effects models and by using two alternative statistical metrics: odds ratios and risk differences.
We undertook sensitivity analyses by using alternative effect measures (odds ratio v relative risk), pooling methods (Peto methods v Mantel-Haenszel method), and consideration on heterogeneity (random v fixed effect).
As an alternative the log-odds scores were directly computed from the two distributions, and were approximated by a modified sigmoid function, which fitted the left tail of curve very well.
The aim of this analysis was to provide an alternative derivation of the odds ratio (OR) to provide an intuitive meaning, freeing it from any mention of odds, which may make it a more useful concept for clinicians to use when describing treatment effect.
An alternative model, directly at odds, is that inhibitory mechanisms are supported by the frontal lobe.
