We also get, for each completion, a utility function unique up to linear transformation.
"The risks that have dismayed Wall Street should be taken seriously by policy makers because they would cost not just hundreds of billions of dollars in losses on reactors that are canceled, but also trillions in excess costs for ratepayers when reactors are brought to completion by utilities that fail to pursue the lower-cost, less risky options that are available.
The authors reviewed the AFT to judge its clinical utility, specifically completion and scoring times and applicability to the group being measured [ 16].
Linear regression analyses on the EQ-5D utility at completion of the questionnaire were performed to determine the drivers of EQ-5D utility among disease-related variables, adjusting on patient characteristics.
However, high inter-subject variability in quantitative results coupled with failure of reversion to negative of qualitative results in most subjects at treatment completion may limit the utility of this assay as a surrogate marker for treatment efficacy.
However, high inter-patient variability in quantitative results as well as lack of reversion to negative of qualitative results in patients at the time of treatment completion, may limit the utility of this test as an early surrogate marker for treatment response.
Therefore, we assessed quality in terms of the recruitment and selection of the patients together with completion rates of the utility measures in order to assess the representativeness of the sample of the patient group and this information was used in the narrative review.
Ultimately, the templates and education materials created were designed to be as brief and general as possible, to support heterogenous discussions while enabling efficient completion of required documentation; the utility of the completed document remains unclear.
In general, every completion of a task would bring some utility, and the utility depends on the running time of the task.
Moreover, the EQ-5D utility data had good completion rates.
