We develop second-order balanced and approximately balanced resamples that retain the nice properties demonstrated by Graham et al. (1990. Balanced design of bootstrap simulations. J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B 52, 185 202) but require essentially no design construction.
Randomization of treatment assignment in experiments generates treatment groups with approximately balanced baseline covariates.
Coolly, he weighed the size of his talent against the size of his ambition, decided that the scales approximately balanced, and told NBC that his answer was yes.
An approximately balanced budget (and even some small surpluses) together with normal economic growth will reduce the U.S. government debt from 47% of GDP today to about 17% in the year 2020--the 2020--the 2020--the1929.
Three nominal deformation conditions were compared: (1) uniaxial loading, ∊TD/∊RD= -ν, (2) biaxial deformation where ∊TD/∊RD= -ν4, and (3) approximately balanced biaxial deformation, with ∊TD/∊RD="1.5.
Employing approximately 20% of the data for training, the proposed workflow resulted in accuracies between 73%and87%7% for the affected areas, and approximately balanced commission and omission errors.
Random allocation of treatment or intervention is the key feature of clinical trials and divides patients into treatment groups that are approximately balanced for baseline, and therefore comparable covariates except for the variable treatment of the study.
When there are many relays, the power consumption can be approximately balanced for each relay node, which is quite essential for relays especially in wireless sensor networks.
All the formulated diets were isonitrogenous and isoenergetic (40%% protein and 17.9 ± 0.3 kJ g−1) and approximately balanced in essential amino acids for Clarias gariepinus fingerlings requirements.
Response hand was counterbalanced across subjects and approximately balanced within genders (males: 11 left hand responders; females: 9 left hand responders).
