Sentence examples for estimates of contact from inspiring English sources

Hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for estimates of contact rates, exposure risks and exposure risk differences were also constructed using nonparametric bootstrap resampling implemented in Crystal Ball.

To combat these issues novel proximity data loggers that measure the frequency and duration of contacts between individuals have been used to derive estimates of contact rates between individuals (e.g. wild-living bush tail possums, Trichosurus vulpecula) and to examine relationships of contact rate with population density and habitat [21].

To this aim, our study provides quantitative estimates of contact patterns.

Development of these models requires decisions on spatial and temporal length scales, which organisms and environmental factors will be considered and which will be ignored, and estimates of contact and transfer rates.

As the SW2P simulations demonstrate, principled estimates of contact strength or duration can lead to apparently excellent agreement with ground-truth scenarios; however, this was based on a flawed estimate of the actual contact data.

Best estimates of contacting efficiencies are presented for the turbulent, fast fluidized, and pneumatic transport regimes of the CFB.

Thus, our variable will be a lower bound estimate of contacts with the health system.

Point estimates of mean contact with healthcare professionals indicated that women in the proactive group may have had fewer contacts with health professionals in primary care (table 4); however, these estimates have very large standard deviations and are highly uncertain.

Behavior in a given thermal environment was assessed from the H and E values, and from estimates of the contact damage.

As cartilage loss and bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are associated with knee joint pain and structural worsening, this study assessed whether non-invasive estimates of articular contact stress may longitudinally predict risk for worsening of knee cartilage morphology and BMLs.

To overcome such limitations and address the lack of empirical data relevant to the study of nosocomial infections, we rely on the technology of networked wearable sensors, that provides a novel approach to obtain accurate and tailored estimates of the contact patterns at the individual level in a given community [22] [27].
