VA reliance based on utilization, as measured in this study, may provide a different picture of outpatient utilization patterns but since costing methodologies differ considerably between VA and Medicare may provide a more stable dependent variable for analysis [ 32].
Using generalized linear models, we examined the relative importance of habitat type (differing in vegetation density), probability of encountering lion (based on utilization distribution of all individual lions in the reserve), and season in predicting group size and composition.
In addition, the patterns of utilization associated with clinically diagnosed conditions may differ between the trial and observational study setting, further complicating the task of identifying SREs based on utilization data using approaches employed in RCTs.
An example of MDSBA filtering and anonymization that is based on utilization of Pig Latin script is provided in the following section.
Prices for IoT-related services may be based on utilization, thus creating a sliding scale of costs and revenues based on bandwidth utilization, volume of API calls, or changing hosting costs.
Also, heuristic methods are used to sort VMs based on CPU/memory utilization in order to minimize the migrations and reduce the consumed energy.
We then predicted the direct costs of inequalities in health care utilization based on the utilization of doctors and hospitals, and the total amount of costs in the ambulatory and hospital settings.
In doing so, this methodology aims to demonstrate the value of the dashboard to predict future costs and utilization, based on previous utilization and illness burden.
The three categories of maximum substrate utilization rates shown in Figure 1 are based on percentage utilization as shown here (approximately 80% utilization, 93% utilization and 100% utilization).
Direct medical costs were based on resource utilization and medication use reported in the physician survey for the different pain severity levels over the three 1-month treatment periods.
