Sentence examples for baseline shape of the from inspiring English sources

Central obesity usually results in increased visceral fat and a sphere-like baseline shape of the abdominal cavity with poor stretching capacity, whereas in peripheral obesity the internal abdominal diameter is shaped as an ellipse and has a huge stretching capacity (and thus higher abdominal compliance) [27].

This further confirms that the wavelet-smoothed spectrum can discover the baseline peak shapes of the weak peaks that are embedded in the noise level, and the volume-based filtering can select the peaks, though they have very low intensities.

Once the baseline shape is replaced with the optimized shape, it is detected that (1) taking the minimum fuel as an objective function, the take-off mass is 2.07% lighter than the take-off mass of the baseline shape, (2) taking the maximum payload mass as an objective function, the payload mass is 14.3% heavier than the payload mass of the baseline shape.

Since the baseline hazard gives the shape of the hazard function, under the Cox proportional model, it will be the same for any given individual.

Had recalibration beyond simple adjustment to the height of the baseline hazard been required (e.g. changes to the shape of the baseline hazard, or even the covariate vector), then the validity of BALAD-2p model would have been questionable.

The baseline shape is often irreproducible due to various effects and thus, can influence the construction of multivariate models.

The cross-sectional shape of the baseline volute (denoted as Volute B) was optimized (Volute A) while the annulus distribution of area-to-radius ratio (A/R) for the two volute configurations are kept the same.

To account for such differences, the methods applied in this analysis allowed interrogation of the scale and shape of the baseline hazard function.

Being Bayesian we have to specify the priori belief in the shape of the baseline hazard which we assume to be smooth.

Because of a 'conditioning argument' [[ 30]; p.520] within the partial likelihood method no assumptions are made regarding the shape of the baseline hazard function, therefore only the effect of the predictors and covariates are evaluated.

We concentrate on models on the log cumulative hazard scale where the idea was to extend the Weibull model, which is a parametric proportional hazards model often criticised for the lack of flexibility in the shape of the baseline hazard function.
