As ecological data increases in breadth, depth, and complexity, the discipline of ecology is increasingly influenced by information science.
The overall purpose of this sample is to address the research question in a generalisable way, using both purposeful and probabilistic techniques that ensure data collection in breadth and depth.
These data sets vary in breadth of coverage (national to regional), funding source (private to national government funded), mechanism of data collection (continuous, post hoc), and scope of data collected.
This study has several limitations, specifically the inability to make causal inferences based on the cross-sectional nature of the data and shortcomings in breadth and detail of the variables.
Databases such as NHDS, HCUP, APACHE, PICCM may partially serve this purpose, yet their data are limited either in location (for example, few participating institutions), in scope (for example, focus on specific medical conditions) or in breadth of data collected.
A complete data source covers adequate data in both depth and breadth to meet the defined business information demand.
There were differences in results, perhaps because of such differences in breadth and type of data.
The company says that customers can use the breadth of data in the platform to help predict Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like customer experience, application workload and infrastructure health, in order to identify issues or outages in advance.
The volume and breadth of data in the SAIL databank hold great promise as a national resource for research, and as the Welsh component of the developing UK Health Informatics Platform.
However, as regulatory objectives have substantially increased in breadth and depth, aquatic toxicity data derived with old testing methods are no longer adequate.
