Model input (mean and uncertainty range); for scenarios, see " Analysis" section aMean values were obtained from the trial [ 11] and the low and high value was obtained by assuming a standard error of 10% The probability to contract an IFI during the 112-day period following initiation of prophylaxis with either posaconazole (5.3%) or fluconazole (9.0%) was obtained from Ullmann et al. [ 11].
We focus here on the effect of systematic error caused by assuming an inadequate model, but consider also the stochastic error caused by using short sequences.
The cluster size was calculated by assuming an individual voxel type I error of P < 0.001 and including the study's matrix, slice number, smoothing kernel, and (upsampled) voxel size.
After the feedback information is available, transmission to the BS is simulated by assuming a fixed UL error rate value which is calculated from UL control channel simulations.
Adjustment for contaminant exposure to poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) changed the estimates only marginally, but the mercury effect could be reduced to non-significance by assuming a large measurement error for the PCB biomarker.
Our model could be expanded by assuming an autoregressive process for the residual errors instead of assuming them to be independent, or other approaches could be used to handle autocorrelated residuals [ 28].
The environmental determinants were modelled as binary, and the measurement error was introduced by assuming an underlying latent variable with a reliability of 0.7.
We tested the sensitivity of the results to different cost function formulations by weighting the six latitude bands by area fraction and by assuming a t distribution for errors.
Remaining discrepancies that cannot be attributed to SMD adjustments are supposed to originate either from a turbulence-modeling error and the occurrence of secondary droplet breakup, which was not modeled, or, on the other hand, to the error by assuming a proportionality between LIF intensity and fuel oil concentration.
Statistical noise overrode the error introduced by assuming a linear relation between sap flow and temperature difference within the range between 0 and 1.7 g h−1.
