Other comparative approaches have been used or suggested (especially to compare timeliness of data sources), including cross-correlation time series modeling [23], [24], comparison of peaks [22], and comparison of aberration detection [26].
We used standard definitions to compare timeliness of reporting and timeliness to review of the Clinical Network and SPARCS.
The outbreak reports were compared for timeliness, reported content, and disease severity.
To test this hypothesis, initial outbreak reports from formal sources and informal sources were compared in timeliness, reported information, and disease severity.
In addition, we compared the timeliness of acquiring rifampin DST results between a liquid and solid media system and a line probe assay.
We compared the timeliness of initial outbreak communications cited by nongovernmental sources to those of governmental sources and examined temporal trends in the time from outbreak onset to public communication for outbreaks communicated by each source, independently.
*Methods: The multivariate negative binomial regression model compared the timeliness of outbreaks first communicated by nongovernmental sources to those by governmental sources, while adjusting for geographic region and whether the outbreak occurred before or after public recognition of SARS.
Flightstats.com lets you compare the timeliness record for particular flights.
I even did a field test to compare its timeliness to Mint.
