The (nonstabilized) weights are estimated as: where is the indicator function, overbars indicate history, q x is the time CD4 is first observed < x cells/mm, and is the probability of not initiating treatment at time j, given covariate history and no initiation by time j – 1.
We used the MSE of the channel estimates as an indicator for the performance of the protocols.
The significance of healthy vaccinee bias as well as the suitability of off-season estimates as indicators for its presence has been debated in several publications.
Third, the included studies used population estimates as indicators for urban environment; however, other factors that contribute to an urban setting, such as socioeconomic characteristics, were not considered.
In general, it is assumed that the q-level quantization admits the alphabet A q = {0, 1, …, q − 1} then, the probability mass function from m amples s1, …, s m is estimated as (8) Where, 1 is the indicator function, defined as (9) By substituting (9) in (1) entropies can be estimated and these entropy estimates can be substituted in (3) and (6) to obtain the MI and CMI estimates [ 11].
Our approach showed better classification performance as estimated by different indicators (Table 4), including the maximum AUC.
DHS data can be used to monitor "effective ANC coverage" which can be far below ANC coverage as estimated by current indicators.
This was supported by inspecting the clusters for rational relationships between land use, soil order and soil quality status as estimated by indicator mean values for each cluster.
