When carrying out a likelihood ratio test for the difference between estimates from different models, minus twice the difference in log likelihood is contrasted to a value of the χ2 distribution corresponding to the number of parameters tested and an error probability γ.
In the last few years, debates over differences between estimates from different groups have become increasingly heated.
Also, there are discrepancies between estimates from different sources and methods.
In developing the economic model, we identified marked variation between estimates from different sources of the incidence of patients likely to benefit from out-of-hospital CPAP.
Aside from differences in methods, the variation between estimates from the different studies might be partly caused by different time periods from which they were derived, given major year-to-year fluctuations in norovirus disease driven by the emergence of new strains.
Moreover, the 95% BCIs did not overlap between estimates from the different clocks.
To sort out differences between estimates produced from different sources using different methods, UNICEF developed, in coordination with WHO, UNDP and the World Bank, a method that minimizes the errors embodied in each estimate and harmonizes trends along time [ 22].
In estimation fusion, we discuss the development of fusion architectures and algorithms with emphasis on the cross-correlation between local estimates from different sources.
For the seven amino acids with T/C-ending codons, the pairwise correlation coefficients between γ estimates from different species, using Kendall's rank correlation, had P values ranging from 0.007 to 0.035.
Estimates from different estimation methods also differ across age groups: Greater differences exist between estimates in the younger age groups, with ILI-derived estimates being biased upwards relative to serology (although the 95% Bayesian credible intervals overlap).
12 The obtained standard error incorporates the two sources of uncertainty, the standard error of the estimate for each of the m datasets and the random variation between estimates derived from different imputed datasets.
