Those studies also conducted analysis over item averages only, allowing the possibility that valence effects observed there may have been magnified or distorted as a consequence of treating these values as point estimates rather than varying by subjects.
The BCOS is a 15-item instrument that measures life changes as a consequence of caregiving, with each item scored on a 7-point response scale (1= changed for the worst, 7= changed for the best).
As a consequence of the last bullet item, Theorem 15 is not applicable to T and S.
This can be interpreted as a consequence of concentration of the item locations to almost the same range, which also can be seen in Figure 1, 2, 3.
Initially nine items related to DHPB (Box A, Figure 1) were included in the analysis guided by the theory [ 12] of health behaviour (items 1, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Table 1, appendix 1) and new items developed as a consequence of focus groups conducted in Romania (items 2, 3 and 5).
As illustrated in Figure 8, a distance-based δ-error can be considered to gather close items in the multiplicative model due to the lower probability of finding coherent biclusters as a consequence of the resulting large number of items.
A substantial number of interventions were initiated not only following positive tests (43.7% per item; 95% CI 27.5% to 59.8%), but also as a consequence of negative test results (11.3% per item; 95% CI 1.7%too 20.9%).
As a consequence of incorporating context factors, the number of applicable items per consultation decreased from 12.2 to 11.8 (sub-items: from 40.6 to 37.7).
For there are possible situations in which there would be theoretical reasons for believing in indiscernible items as a consequence of a theory which best explains the empirical data.
Repetition priming refers to the change in the ability to perform a task on a stimulus as a consequence of a former encounter with that very same item.
In propensity theory the probability of an individual event or item is viewed as a tendency in nature, so that the frequencies, or the proportions in a class of similar events or items, manifest as a consequence of the law of large numbers.
