As the contribution to the economy varies widely amongst start-ups, Nightingale and Coad call for a more nuanced categorisation of the term 'entrepreneurial firms'.
The sensitivity analyses demonstrated that our results were robust to the definition of cardiovascular drug count used, the categorisation of long-term conditions, and the exclusion of deaths (data not shown).
It is important to note that the assessment method used in this study is not 'condition' assessment [5] but rather a quantitative measure of physical change, specifically designed to enable categorisation in terms of the fitness of a document.
An important observation is that if the data for the figure are based on a categorised sample of the candidate term pairs instead of a categorisation of all candidate term pairs, the figure is more coarse-grained and the cut-off qvalue is harder to select than in this study.
This classification can serve, both in our study and in further epidemiological studies, as a reference for a categorisation of surgical procedures in terms of risk of CJD acquisition.
This classification can serve as a reference, both in our study and in further epidemiological research, for categorisation of surgical procedures in terms of risk level of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease acquisition.
Instead of the labour-intensive manual categorisation into correct term pairs, partly correct term pairs and incorrect term pairs for the dictionary generation, it is possible to use the qvalues of the candidate term pairs.
These include simplifying a regression model (e.g. omitting nonsignificant main-effect and interaction terms) and categorisation of continuous variables [ 13].
However, this effect is smaller in terms of clinical categorisation of isolates and can be influenced by the serotype and clonal type.
Although attempts have been made to measure appropriateness of attendance in terms of a categorisation of the processes of care (whether patients have received treatments/investigations/referrals or are admitted, for example), it has proved problematic to achieve consensus about what processes of care make a visit appropriate.
Finally, we attempt to explain this topologico-metric categorisation in functional terms.
