The model parameters can be set using theoretical considerations that may assume certain properties of the data.
Based on the results, it could be assumed that the theoretical framework by Andershed and Ternestedt [ 15] involving the principal needs of family caregivers was successful for the design of the psycho-educational intervention.
Although theoretical frameworks assume that performance measurement systems (PMS) can be employed for different uses, there is a lack of prior empirical research examining the use of PMS.
Existing methods for cross-cohort meta-analysis assume, for the large part, one of two theoretical frameworks: fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE) [ 53– 53].
In this context, Dorfman et al. (2012) argue that when assessing a cultural situation in the framework of a certain theoretical model, other dimensions can emerge.
Being designed as generic theoretical frameworks SDH models are bound to a certain level of abstractness and detachment.
Concept mapping and content analysis have traditionally been defined by theoretical frameworks, such as those of Saussure [ 76], which assume human, manual methods of textual analysis.
Thus, understanding the contextual factors that increase the vulnerability of certain women to terminate a pregnancy is as important as incorporating these risk markers into theoretical frameworks in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this association.
