Let us define a set of indicator variables x ji ∈{0,1} to denote whether a given user j is associated to a particular BS i during the τ-th epoch as follows x_{ji} tau) = left{ begin{array}{rl} 1, & quadtext{if user~} j~in mathcal{U}_{T}^{(i }, 0, & quadtext{otherwise}. end{array}right.
To measure RA disease severity in medical records, we defined a set of indicators of severe RA through an expert Delphi panel of rheumatologists [ 16].
At a local level, the Delphi approach is understood by some authors as a popular, successful method for defining a set of indicators (tools) as it enables individuals in various locations and with different areas of expertise to be included anonymously, often without a physical meeting, which prevents the views of a minority from dominating the group [ 25].
This analysis can be used to define a set of VFM indicators, with cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness being just two of these.
We defined a set of quality indicators, six process and three outcome indicators, to evaluate the effect of the intervention in the region.
Using this indicator in a process of iterative improvement of prototype design makes it possible to define a set of a priori compatible prototypes for each farm type.
To improve the quality of care provided for children and adolescents by defining a set of quality indicators that reflect evidence-based national guidelines and are feasible to audit using routine computerised clinical records.
The main result of this study was that it is necessary to define a core set of indicators in order to compare sites fairly.
We define and simulate a set of indicators of performances, resilience, reliability, and vulnerability, so to assess the ability of the water resources systems to absorb changes in the hydrological patterns.
