During the time interval covered by our analysis, the NRA was 65, but a pension could be claimed as early as 60.11 When eligibility conditions are met, the annual individual benefit is computed as follows: 1.
Examination of the results from the near-optimal method for the Off-Peak scenario revealed that the average relative safety dis-benefit was computed from only 3 of the 11 stations, as only these three stations had statistically significant results at the 95% level.
Once the pension benefits are computed for each subcohort, they are indexed with the same rate in both systems and for all subcohorts.
The sick leave benefits is computed on the basis of the total salary received in the month preceding the sickness episode.
These benefits are computed as a percentage of the previous wage, with this percentage (the replacement rate) decreasing with the duration of the unemployment spell (65 and 60% for the first and second year, respectively).
20 For each data set simulated, the incremental net benefit (INB) was computed using the relationship: INB=λ*ΔE ΔC, where λ is the CE threshold, ΔE, the mean incremental effect and ΔC the mean incremental cost.
The LHH as a quantitative benefit-risk measure was computed based on the ratio of NNH/NNT.
Similarly, each participant's cost-benefit weighing load was computed as | Pyes − 0.5|, which was maximal when P yes) was close to 50% and minimal when close to 0% or 100%.
In the analysis, a value of the quantity, designated as the fractional benefit B, is computed by adding up the fractions of the maximal values of the objectives that they can ever achieve in a particular metabolic state.
