You can use it to describe an initial value or data point used for calculating or predicting something. For example, "The baseline for estimating future sales performance is the current month's sales revenue."
However, little is known in coastal lagoons about the spatial variations in the isotopic values of primary consumers considered 'end members' in the isotope mixing models for quantifying the diet of secondary consumers or as a baseline for estimating the trophic position of consumers higher up in the food web.
What then is the appropriate baseline for estimating the RRs?
Survival for patients diagnosed during 1986–90 was used as the baseline for estimating trends in both national survival rates and deprivation gradients in survival.
Since the costotransverse joints are anatomically smaller than the zygapophyseal joints, we utilized the amount of fluid injected into the zygapophyseal joints[ 13] as a baseline for estimating the volume limit for the costotransverse joints.
The ability of the metabolites to predict 6.5-year glycemia may be compared with the predictive ability of baseline glucose for estimating glycemia at follow-up.
Our results provide baseline information for estimating the impact and costs of population-based interventions aimed at these populations and also confirm the need to strengthen health education programs to promote the reduction of lead exposure in the general population.
For the 44 cohorts with data from both women and men, subjects with missing baseline values for estimated glomerular filtration rate or urinary albumin-creatinine ratio or dipstick tests were excluded.
The survival of patients diagnosed during 1986–1990 was used as the baseline for estimates of trend.
One possibility is the so-called precise point positioning algorithm in which a baseline is not used for estimating the position, but only a single station is used (Geng et al., 2010a, b).
For control purposes, we additionally probed retention of the 16 triplets that were already used for estimating baseline performance, and found that in most subjects recall rate for these items at retrieval was indeed close to 100%, indicating a ceiling effect.
Thus, CA 19-9 and QOL at baseline provide limited information for estimating palliation by chemotherapy.
