To estimate the progression of allocation concealment over time, we ordered the three possibilities as inadequate, unclear, adequate, and found that there was an increase in adequate allocation concealment over time (P<0.0001).
Estimates of our allocation mechanism will under-predict unobserved ability at the top campuses and over-predict unobserved ability at campuses with lower rankings.
Recent studies have shown that multi-day diaries lead to more accurate estimates of time allocation with no appreciable deterioration of data quality [ 15].
Management staff salaries and vehicle expenses were apportioned to each service according to SOIL's estimates of the allocation of these resources during operations.
However, the commercial PET scanner provided good estimates of C-allocation up to 3 h after radioactivity was administered.
As a methodological innovation, we introduced a method to estimate the Allocation of Inputs in Outputs (AIO), that is, the ratio of transformation of each input nutrient into outputs, provided that we are given a flux distribution balancing the production and consumption of intermediary metabolites.
Because the above analyses estimated only the effect of allocation to the intervention website, we additionally undertook a complier-average causal effect analysis to estimate the effect of compliance with the intervention [33].
In those complying with the intervention, the estimated average causal effect of allocation to intervention, expressed as a ratio of geometric means of past week's alcohol consumption, was 1.05 (95% CI 0.95 to 1.16) at 3 months.
Other reasons why differences in reproductive allocation are smaller than expected, or even absent, may be "the currency" used to estimate allocation (carbon or nutrients) and methods of estimation of reproductive allocation (biomass, respiration or photosynthesis).
Many of the participants from the two workshops contributed advice throughout the project, particularly regarding selection of appropriate risk estimates and allocation of exposure levels to industry sectors.
