This leads to the conclusion, that given |ν|<0.1, the resulting interference is sufficiently small to obtain an estimate close to the optimum.
This is because for the 'Movers' subsample we get an estimate close to zero, while for the 'Stayers' subsample the DiD estimates are close to 6/100 of a standard deviation.
However, to the extent that these are random, the estimator is consistent and – given our reasonable sample size T = 400 to 500 – should deliver an estimate close to the "true parameter value".
During the execution of the algorithm, the linear function is calculated by intercepting the two previous and subsequent data of the problem data points in the time series, and the target data points are expected to obtain an estimate close to the true value at the correct sampling time.
Although further investigations are required to more precisely determine CH turnover rates, our data suggest that turnover is somewhere between 30% and 130%, with the modal estimate close to 100%/day.
NBSP outperformed the BSP, providing estimate close to those of the cloning procedure for the majority of CpG sites.
GyrB, has been used in an SP study of the Sargasso Sea data [ 14], leading to an estimate close to the one by Venter et al. [ 17].
We set the prophylactic efficacy of HPV vaccination against HPV 16/18 related cancers in men equal to the figure reported for HPV 16/18 positive CIN2+ in women, which has a meta-analytic estimate close to 100%.
Predictive mean matching produced an average point estimate close to that of the complete data, but, consistent with the previous observations for both the Likert and C-GHQ, the estimated between-imputation variance was low, resulting in under-coverage.
Such consistency is not true of inverse-variance weighting approaches, which may give a pooled estimate close to the null, since small values of tend to have small variances.
The attributable mortality of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was 6.1%95%5% CI = 5.7 to 6.5), an estimate close to the 8.1%95%5% CI = 3.1 to 13.1%) provided by a multistate model of another cohort study that appropriately handled VAP as a time-dependent event [ 4].
