As far as possible, functional forms and parameter values are determined or estimated from experimental data.
News values are determined in the marketplace.
These values are determined by expert opinion.
The Effective Sample Size (ESS) of estimated parameter values was determined using Tracer v. 1.5 [ 55], and the EBSPs were visualized using R (v. 2.12.0; http://www.r-project.org/).org/
Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were estimated and p - values were determined.
Odds ratios were calculated from logistic regression parameter estimates, and p values were determined with the significance level set at p <0.05.
As comparisons, a referee suggested to further conduct two analyses, called Analysis 3 and Analysis 4. In Analysis 3, we take the misclassification probabilities as known and let their values be determined by the estimated specificities and sensitivities obtained from Analysis 1.
The regression coefficients were estimated separately for each volunteer, and the median values were determined for males and females separately.
P values were determined by Wald tests with robust variance, as estimated by generalized estimating equations.
The estimated value is used to determine the relaying strategy.
Correlation values were determined using the Pearson product moment coefficient, which is generally considered suitable when estimating the linear relationships.
