Relative to the method of moments and PWM estimates, the SD-PWM estimates compare well based on fits of the cumulative distributions.
Simulated stream energy budget estimates compare well with results from field-based studies, and errors in stream temperature simulations (RMSE < 1.6) are similar to other modelling studies, providing confidence in the methods developed.
In conclusion, our comparison of HIV estimates finds that the ANC surveillance estimate compares well with the overall HIV prevalence estimate from the ZDHS population survey for all adults (men and women).
Accepting these shortcoming, this novel estimate compares well with recent studies in northern Tanzania that combine established domestic trapping methodologies with genetic fingerprinting of human blood meals to estimate individual protection against exposure of 69% [ 51].
These estimate compares well with the national level rates (47% Vs 46%) observed in the most recent demographic and Health survey but higher compared to the rates obtained from the study region (37%) in the same survey [ 8].
As a measure of indirect validation, denudation rates of 4.6 28.5 mm ka−1 were estimated and compared well to other studies in the region.
NO(2) estimates for 1980 compared well with actual measurements, but no independently measured (study-external) data were available for SO(2), precluding similar validation.
In western Oregon, productivity estimates made using this method compared well with forest inventory estimates and were significantly different than estimates from a spatially distributed biogeochemistry model.
They are also far less likely to participate in clinical trials, which offer the most up-to-date therapies: Fewer than one in five adolescents with cancer are treated in a clinical trial, according to some estimates, compared with well over half of younger children.
Analysis of the results showed that daily estimated potential crop evapotranspiration from the model compared well with estimates from electronic weather stations (1980 2014) and with independently calculated potential crop evapotranspiration in adjacent states.
