In general, further adjustment for AS3MT increased the estimates for %iAs, which became similar in size to those of %MMA but in the opposite direction, whereas the AS3MT-adjustment tended to decrease the estimates for %DMA.
Uncertainty around these estimates was explored by increasing and decreasing the estimated national case numbers by 5%%, and also by increasing and decreasing the mean total cost estimates for each age and gender subgroup by 10%and20%20 % respectively.
Vehicle charging, even for a modest 30% PEV penetration, is found to nearly double peak temperature rise above ambient at the cable surface, increase the daily variance in cable temperatures, and significantly decrease the estimated time to failure for cables with thermally sensitive insulation.
The evidence presented so far is consistent with selection into high wage areas: including covariates or instrumenting for immigration decreases the estimated wage effects, and the coefficients on the proportion Southern black in the native white regression samples are positive.
The linearity of birth weight at the log odds scale for mortality in the generalised linear mixed model was assessed by transforming birth weight into a categorical variable based on quartiles and then verify a decreasing trend of the estimates for the levels of the categorical variable.
The linearity of birth weight at the log odds scale for NNPDS was assessed by transforming birth weight into a categorical variable based on quartiles and then verify that a decreasing trend of the estimates for the levels of the categorical variable was observed.
Further reducing the df for the spline to model trend and seasonality did not change or only slightly decreased the risk estimates for UFP.
In other studies, adding ozone to the models slightly decreased the effect estimates for temperature and mortality (e.g., Bell et al. 2008; O'Neill et al. 2005; Rainham and Smoyer-Tomic 2003).
This causes an additional decrease of the estimates for the aspects of adverse family psychosocial characteristics, but the main findings remain intact.
Adjusting for baseline laboratory measurements also decreased slightly the estimate for statin effect, for example, adjusting for CRP gave a RR of 0.43 (0.23 to 0.81).
