Secondly, the lack of detailed reporting meant that there was some doubt about whether or not the study by Kassaian et al was a true comparison between home based and hospital based cardiac rehabilitation or was, instead, a comparison of hospital based cardiac rehabilitation and usual care.
Probabilistic matching assigns a weight to pairs of records based on how likely they are to be a true match based on a comparison of name, date of birth and address.
However, if we compare the integrated intensities, then all these effects that redistribute the intensity are captured, and a true comparison can be made between theory and experiment.
While the extent to which this is the case is unknown, if undiagnosed abusers are more costly than a true comparison population comprising patients who are not abusers, this would imply that the estimated excess costs of diagnosed abuse understate the actual excess cost differential between abusers and a comparison population of patients without diagnosed or undiagnosed opioid abuse.
Another CPUP is now in place so it will not be possible to make a true comparison of Thomson's wages until that plan expires in 2015.
It must be cautioned, however, that the level of residual CELF activity in the presence of the NLSCELFΔ protein cannot be directly measured, preventing a true comparison of the extent of repression of CELF activity in Myo-CELFΔ versus MHC-CELFΔ tissues.
Since not all of the specimens followed the classic profile for Fick's 2nd Law (because of hot spots), the estimated diffusion coefficient (D) values could not be used to provide a true comparison.
It is difficult to make a true comparison to 2008 since the first day that election administrators mailed ballots in 2008 was on Monday, Sept. 15 and in 2012, it was earlier on Friday, Sept. 7. To make the most consistent comparison as possible, I generate statistics for the first date of mailing of ballots.
Thus a true comparison is difficult to make.
