However, the conventional smoothing methods suffer from the lack of spatial adaptivity to the shape and spatial extent of region of interest and the arbitrary choice of smoothing extent, while independently fitting statistical models across voxels does not account for the spatial properties of imaging observations and noise distribution.
First, the choice of the extent has a substantial influence on the estimation of the variogram.
In fact, the choice of the extent may determine whether or not a study can adequately characterize the hydrological fluxes of the studied ecosystem.
Therefore, a well-balanced choice of the extent of the axillary dissection should be the surgeon's main concern.
The choice of surgical extent for patients with PTMC is unclear, with previous reports showing that 17 91% undergo total or near-total thyroidectomy [ 3, 4, 8, 9, 11- 15].
For event-based sampling, the choice of an appropriate extent can be as important as using an adequate sample size.
Taxonomic group, landscape characteristics, and study type all appeared to influence both the choice of grain and extent for the study.
The choice of operation and extent of lymphadenectomy may have some influence on the pattern of recurrence.
This study aims to explore supermarket choice (including extent of use of different supermarkets) alongside shopping behavior, to provide a more nuanced account of how these factors may impact healthfulness of and social patterning in purchasing.
A different response to the subjectivity of priors is to extend the Bayesian formalism, in order to leave the choice of prior to some extent open.
