Let i denote the dataset of interest, then we aim to infer the parameter where α is the coefficient for a baseline dataset and μ i is difference from this baseline.
Averaging outbreak detection performance over the datasets with randomly inserted outbreaks eliminates bias due to the timing and location of the outbreak in the baseline dataset, and allows estimation of the average expected detection performance of the models using different alarm thresholds given the baseline data.
We collected data on eight transects and in 412 plots in adjacent grazed and ungrazed forest and used baseline datasets of 1996 and 2002 in the same area (i.e. before grazing).
While the baseline datasets of population and road infrastructure are accurate, the derivative datasets used to produce origin-to-destination functions are highly dependent on the validity of numerous assumptions.
Biodiversity management at the landscape level is a relatively new concept in the Congo Basin and the creation of baseline datasets to evaluate the efficacy of conservation strategies is only just beginning.
We examined potential drivers of ecosystem vulnerability to climate stress by comparing baseline datasets that compared latitudinal patterns in genetic diversity, physiology and resilience, to the response of kelp forest ecosystems to a natural climatic event.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 1,620 nondiabetic patients had full baseline datasets.
The land use pattern, sociodemographics, and transportation infrastructures for year 2010 are used as the baseline datasets.
The phylogeographic signal obtained from multilocus microsatellite DNA genotypes and mitochondrial DNA control region haplotypes, when compared to existing baseline datasets from extant populations, allowed for the identification of the region-of-origin of the North American Atlantic sturgeon founders.
We present experimental results for three challenging (baseline) datasets.
Ideally, these various baseline datasets should all refer to the same time period, whether 1961-90 averages or the 1990 value.
