Similarly, we should be careful when we try to generalise a certain estimate of the role of smoking in the sex difference in mortality.
Assessing a more recent sample of studies after the implementation of the CONSORT guidelines may increase the number of low risk studies and may provide a more certain estimate of the impact of risk of bias on effect size.
The simultaneous retrievals from using all ten bands outperform those based on using only the two CO2 bands, and the ten-band retrieval produces more certain estimates of CTP.
However, if the sampler is willing to live with the possible risk of some bias and less certain estimates of precision when compared with actual simple random sampling, Gordon and Pont's methods may prove satisfactory.
However, a larger follow-up study of drug users would provide more certain estimates of mortality in drug users.
Under certain circumstances, estimates of the exposure concentration corresponding to a 1% excess risk can be highly dependent on the exposure response model chosen to model the epidemiologic data.
As a recent Post news story pointed out: "The number of militants and civilians killed in the drone campaign over the past 10 years will soon exceed 3,000 by certain estimates, surpassing the number of people al Qaeda killed in the Sept. 11 attacks".
Even though these socioeconomic status indicators were predictive of certain behaviors, point estimates of the effects of risk game choices remained substantively unchanged, even after controlling for various sets of confounders, suggesting possible independent effects of unobservable risk preferences.
Under certain conditions, more accurate estimates of the prevalences can be obtained using fused data (the original data plus the imputed data) than just by using only the observed data.
For functions f on Rn satisfying certain conditions, we obtain sharp estimates of the operator norms (or norms in operator ideals) of f(A1,…,An)−f(B1,…,Bn) in terms of the corresponding norms of Aj−Bj, 1⩽j⩽n.
