As illustrated by simulations described in the previous section, the choice of the distribution of the infection duration has various impacts on global epidemic outputs such as epidemic duration, epidemic size or epidemic peak in a metapopulation.
A common choice for the distribution of β i in a random-effects model is the multivariate normal.
Although the Weibull distribution provides a natural choice for the distribution of survival times in cost-effectiveness analysis, it is often necessary to consider alternative models, for example, to deal with situations in which the hazard function does not have a monotonic relationship with time.
A common choice for the distribution of the random effects in regression models for longitudinal data is the multivariate normal (Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal, 2009).
If synonymous codon choice solely reflects the distribution of nucleotides in the genomic background, there should be no differences in Nc value between the CS and ICCS data sets.
In SVO experiments, subjects are asked to make choices regarding the distribution of points (which in the present study had real monetary value) between themselves and an 'other'other
In contrast with this assumption, some studies have reported a singularity in the distribution of choices: deck B (one of the two disadvantageous decks) is usually chosen more frequently than each of the two advantageous decks taken separately [ 48, 49].
The difference in the distribution of choices between the two types of retrospective research continued to be present in both subgroups (unadjusted P < 0.001 for MR and TR preference, MR perception of norm, and TR perception of current practice, P = 0.004 for TR perception of norm, and P = 0.01 for MR perception of current practice).
There was significant difference in the distribution of choices according to health status (patients vs. companions) for MR (adjusted Kruskal-Wallis test P = 0.03) but not to age group, gender, education level, or previous participation in research (unadjusted P = 0.02 - 0.59).
We investigated whether there are differences in the distribution of consenting choice among subgroups defined by age, gender, educational level, previous research experience, or health status (patient or companion).
