In addition, the 16 experts judged a set of animal-based measures in order to rate them by appropriateness and by the level of animal pain and suffering due to the welfare consequences they measure.
Given this, the question arises: should studies or assessments done early in the epidemic emphasize affect-based assessments of risk, whereas those performed later in the epidemic emphasize cognitive-based measures, in order to optimally predict behaviors?
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate inequalities at the district level using a nationally representative household sample and to take into account the effects of both individual and area based measures of social inequalities in order to provide insight into the influences of socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural factors on HIV prevalence in Botswana.
In order to overcome these shortcomings, we propose an information-theoretic based measure to score protein-protein relationships in functional interaction networks predicted from homology data.
Subsequently, an ensemble based framework is designed with the recently proposed similarity/dissimilarity measures in order to have better clustering results for different types of categorical data sets.
The robust weighting scheme in space is based on a well-defined distribution of misfit and associated statistical measures in order to obtain the final weights.
Strictly speaking the primary analysis was not based on intention to treat as it required that there be two measures in order to be included.
To examine behavior-related patterns of LFP activity, we turned to concepts based on probabilities in order to measure the likelihood of turning in a plus-shaped maze and the pattern of maze exploration.
Then, we apply novel discriminative algorithms based on 1-SVMs with new dissimilarity measure in order to address a supervised sound-classification task.
Measures of multimorbidity included three commonly used non-weighted survey measures [ 10] (two dichotomies, and an additive scale using counts) and three constructed indexes where chronic illness categories are weighted based on HRQL and the OARS functional measure in order to reflect disease burden.
Biomass production in each experiment was measured in order that it can be possible to compare different media based on biomass production.
