Nevertheless, this application of consistent methods makes a useful contribution to the continuous improvement of GHGIs, because it may help in identifying possible errors, in increasing scientific understanding and ultimately in building confidence in the estimates of emissions and removals reported by the countries by increasing consistency, transparency and completeness of the estimates.
Brazilian mortality registration has made steady process in completeness of reporting (estimated completeness – 1991: 77.6 %, 2011: 94.2 %): and definition of the cause of death (ill-defined deaths – 1991: 18.2 %, 2010: 6.7 %) over the past two decades [ 18– 20].
Thus, a high correlation coefficient does not necessarily indicate the completeness of the estimated functional repertoire but rather provides a measure of correspondence between the whole metagenome and the 16S rRNA-predicted KO abundances.
We restricted our estimates of R0 based on the final epidemic size to data sets with good ascertainment, since these estimates depend on the completeness of case reporting (estimates based on the growth rate are sensitive to the completeness of reporting only if this changes over time).
When completeness or accuracy of estimates cannot be achieved, high uncertainties in input data can be overcome by applying the conservativeness principle [2], which guarantees that the reduction of emissions is not overestimated, or at least the risk of overestimation is minimized.
For the sake of completeness, the estimates of the association between resection margins and survival using the pseudo value model and a cloglog link are compared with the results from the Cox model.
When completeness or accuracy of estimates cannot be achieved, high uncertainties in input data can be overcome by applying the conservativeness principle [ 2], which guarantees that the reduction of emissions is not overestimated, or at least the risk of overestimation is minimized.
Hill et al., using life tables based on their own rather than SPC completeness of death registration estimates, report (2007: 381) 'substantial increases in adult mortality over a very short period'.
The completeness of recording is estimated to be 95%.
Accordingly, the completeness of ALOMYbase as estimated by CEGMA analysis was 61.3 %.
Completeness of registration is estimated to be at least 97% [ 28].
