Different estimation methods for heterogeneity do not greatly impact on test performance, but different methods to derive the variances of the direct estimates impact on inconsistency inference.
Laaksonen et al. (2007) and Mäkinen et al. (2006) used the same dataset, but different methods, to simultaneously test the pathway model [ 31, 32].
Similar findings but with different method to measure the alveolar bone resorption were observed by Sanbe et al. [ 32].
One of the studies (Moghadam & Cinnéide, 2012) was used to resolve the issues via refactoring, but used a different method to determine the steps needed to resolve them.
Baryon acoustic oscillations provide a different method to constrain this, but with similar results.
Another related but different method is to modify the FRP and/or its epoxy matrix with conductive particles or nanomaterials so that the FRP becomes self-sensing.
Both operate electronically but use different methods to assure liquidity in what could prove to be thinly traded markets.
About 36,000 die in a typical flu season, according to a well-known 2003 study, but epidemiologists used different methods to calculate the 10,000 swine flu deaths, said Dr. Beth P. Bell, associate director of science in the respiratory disease division of the disease control agency.
They used different vaccine strains of virus, different methods of virus inactivation and concentration, different adjuvants, if they were used, and last but not least different methods to challenge their results.
The two agencies keep tabs on global temperature trends using large networks of surface monitoring stations and statistical approaches to fill in gaps where stations are sparse, but they use slightly different methods to analyze the data, which can result in slight differences in their rankings.
