The design effect is calculated as DE = 1 + (m-1) ρ, with 100 patients per cluster, resulting in design effect of 3.97 and an effective sample size of 1800/3.97 = 450 patients.
Assuming a design effect due to clustering of patients within general practice of 1.2, an effective sample size of approximately 1000 would be obtained.
This leaves us with an effective sample of 15,005, with individual country samples varying from 2,296 for the Netherlands to 360 in Portugal.
This survey collected 4610 valid questionnaires, with an effective sample size of 2098 by excluding the part of the sample with incomplete information on variables related to this study.
To avoid designing a complex resampling stage, instead of using the original coefficient generation rate, we use an effective sample rate that is equal to the nearest integer divider of 10 MHz.
We propose a new variant, called Stochastic Nelder Mead simplex method (SNM), that employs an effective sample size scheme and a specially-designed global and local search framework to address these two problems.
In addition, this USAEME method provided detection limits lower than their contaminant levels, which made USAEME an effective sample preparation method for determining organic environmental contaminants, such as CPAs, in river water samples with little consumption of organic solvent.
Therefore, we also discuss alternative approaches to yield unbiased estimates of population state variables using similar data types, and we stress that there is no substitute for an effective sample design that is grounded upon well-defined management objectives.
Biometrics 49, 305 314] to assess the simple correlation between two spatial processes is built on the sample correlation coefficient calculated from partial realizations, and requires the estimation of an effective sample size appropriately defined.
We also introduce an improved definition of the penalty in this BIC approximation that accommodates the repeated-measures correlation through an effective sample size based on the Fisher Information.
In these equations, λ is the wavelength of radiation (532 nm), I is the intensity of radiation, S is the fraction of radiation detected by the detector (the transmittance of the aperture), α is the linear absorption coefficient, L refers to the sample length (1 mm), and Leff is an effective sample thickness, which was measured by OL setup shown in Fig. 2.
