We conducted a four-phase, multidisciplinary expert consensus procedure.
This consensus procedure consisted of an open discussion and a vote, if no consensus was reached after discussion.
A four-phase consensus procedure with a multidisciplinary expert panel was organized to identify, assess, and agree on research priorities for patient safety in emergency medicine.
In case of disagreement between the reviewers about the inclusion criteria, a consensus procedure was used with four authors of the review (VA, AH, JvL and MvH).
If there was no consensus between the two researchers, a consensus procedure with all authors was used for the final decision.
The systematic literature search was repeated at the end of the consensus procedure to include all relevant papers published until March 30 , 2017
With this approximation, a consensus procedure is carried out to calculate the sum of the exponential term of global likelihood function which can be expressed as the product of all the local likelihood functions.
Our model extends the earlier study done in [8], which focused on ensuring that the bees align their individual velocities to the average velocity of their neighbors through a consensus procedure.
Thereafter a consensus procedure among international experts was done to develop statements to support clinical decision making, in terms of cardiovascular safety, for prescription of hormonal contraceptives to women with migraine.
Using domain composition as a feature, our SVM-based consensus procedure predicted a total of 379 candidate human CM genes (Supplementary Table S4) coding for 329 proteins.
The consensus procedure was performed between February and April 2011.
