In view of these results and acknowledging an adequate item-factor specification as conveyed by the interim E/CFA, a bifactor model was fitted to examine the existence of a general factor, yet still accounting for (conditional on) the three specific factors (Table 1, Model D).
Our hierarchical model specifies a first-stage distribution for conditional on the sample-specific mean θ ij and a second-stage distribution for ilr(θ ij ) conditional on the group-specific mean θ i.
The borders are fitted as BMI quantiles conditional on the child-specific covariate combination.
The dependence of the Conditional Robustness Algorithm on the specific modeling approach is confined to the two blocks in dark blu in Fig. 4.
Similar considerations apply to the probabilities of specific data points conditional on theoretical principles, and the probabilities of confirming or disconfirming instances of theoretical claims conditional on the values of specific data points.
Parametric uncertainty, on the other hand, relates to uncertainty in the model's parameters, conditional on a specific structure, such as uncertainties in the threshold and slope of a threshold-linear exposure response relationship, or the indoor/outdoor concentration ratio for PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm).
The measure could be adapted for studies examining whether risk perception predicts future behavior by making the items conditional on a specific behavior (for example, not using condoms) rather than based on past sex behavior.
The probability of such degradation conditional on a specific set of accident conditions is referred to as probability of loss of assured safety (PLOAS).
We assumed that conditional on the genotype, the age-specific probability of developing a particular cancer was independent of the probability of developing any other type of cancer.
Alternative estimators are available to exploit this variation including risk adjustment (RA) and instrumental variable (IV) approaches; however, the properties of the estimates produced are conditional on assumptions specific to each estimator.
