Second, we performed the WEE sensitivity analysis that used baseline characteristic data to upweight observations from participants who were most similar to participants with missing data (22).
The purpose of this proceudre is to look for characteristics of data, to capture them in the model's projections, and then to check to see if the model reproduces those characteristics.
In such an information-rich environment, it is not uncommon for only a few general characteristics of data to be evaluated by patients and/or caregivers.
IMA claims and patient characteristics data from 2002 to 2006 for patients for which the NIHDI code 00470448 (Spiriva, tiotropium) and corresponding CNK (pharmaceutical product code) codes indicated a tiotropium delivery between March 1, 2004 and December 31, 2006, was requested.
However, we engaged a broad range of health professionals with varying characteristics, data generation continued to saturation, negative cases were sought (Strauss and Corbin, 1990) and we undertook validation with participants (Bloor, 1997) and other groups.
This is a major shortcoming in this particular model regarding the non-availability of exact experimental characteristics data comparison from other sources to calibrate the model.
The various reservoir parameters and characteristics data which have been used to predict the performance of steam flooding are shown in Table 1.
19 The initial reversibility clusters were otherwise similar with respect to baseline characteristics (data not shown).
These three groups did not differ significantly with respect to baseline characteristics (data not shown) and platelet transfusions.
Besides information on demographic characteristics, data were collected on access to sexual and reproductive health services; family planning needs and sexual health status.
