To ensure the probability of each input data point of ∆z k ' or ∆θ k ' falling into each fuzzy set be roughly equal, each fuzzy set is assigned to an interval of equal width and similar rules.
Then, for each recipient in the DCD group we selected an individual from the DBD group by matching on the log of the estimated propensity score, using a nearest-neighbour matching algorithm with callipers (an interval) of maximum width of 0.2 SDs.
Thus, the oscillations set in outside of a finite interval of width (pm P/(4pi)), where (P=2pi/|k|) is the fundamental period.
Third, we perform downsampling by a factor of G = f s /Ω which is equivalent to changing the periodicity of the spectrum to a fundamental interval of width ˜f s = f s /G = Ω.
To estimate the prevalence of patient delay in the study districts with a 95% Confidence Interval of width ± 5%, a sample size of 374 is needed, taking a prevalence of 58% patient delay from earlier Ethiopian study [ 4].
A sample size of 100 cases allows for the computation of a 95% confidence interval of width +/− 8% for the primary outcome if the true percentage of cases for which virtual autopsy correctly identifies the diagnostic category is 80%.
In order to insure that the system was stable in the living state, ϕ was averaged over a sliding time interval of width 20, which is 20 times the average life time of a molecule.
Based on change rates in the range 21% and 44% published for N0 patients, we assumed the rate to be ∼25%, requiring a sample size of at least 100 patients to estimate it with a 95% confidence interval of width <18%.
During baseline recording, single stimuli were applied every minute (0,0166 Hz) and were averaged every 5 min. Once a stable baseline had been established, long-term potentiation was induced by applying 100 pulses at an interval of 10 ms and a width of the single pulses of 0.2 ms (strong tetanus) three times at 10 min intervals.
The 95% limits of agreement was estimated as (-41.1, 15.2), an interval width of 56.3 mmHg and some 31% less than that reported in Table 2 for the full data.
