However, these methods are limited by the absence of estimation methods for SEs and CIs, which are necessary for the comparison of estimates between different areas or to a reference standard.
However, our comparison of estimates between random effects and fixed effects specifications indicate that, when smaller geographic units are used as fixed effects instead of merely five regions, then media exposure is not a significant predictor of circumcision risk.
Comparisons of survival estimates between subgroups according to clinical variables were performed using the log-rank test (Mantel, 1966).
Therefore, comparisons of parameter estimates between NLMMs with different sets of predictors must first be re-scaled in order to make them comparable [ 16].
Comparisons of risk estimates between the original group of suspected cases and those who reconfirmed diagnosis should be made with caution, however, because both sets of cases are based on self-report.
However, based on the limited amount of available data for comparison of volume estimates between the ellipsoid model and volume estimates from sections [ 16], the overestimation of structure volume by the ellipsoid model appears similar across species.
The comparison of estimated ORs between males and females was also similar.
Confidence intervals for all proportions (using the binomial distribution) and a p-value for the comparison of estimated proportions between study groups (using the chi-squared test) separately for the 12 month and 6 month periods were calculated, adjusted for clustering by GP.
However, such a direct comparison of heterozygosity estimates between different markers can be misleading considering that SNPs have their own distinctiveness such as diallelic nature and relatively low mutation rates (10− 10−; Brumfield et al. 2003).
Comparison of Fst estimates between the first and final generations for both the intermediate host and parasite lines revealed greater genetic variation within parasite (P1 RF3-0.74; P1:RUF3-0.63; P1:UF3-0.65) than within the intermediate host (P1 RF3, P1 RUF3; P1 UF3-all values <0.001).
