We suggest that pre-implementation evaluation of EWSs should include at least two metrics: sensitivity; and either the positive predictive value, number needed to evaluate, or estimated rate of alerts.
It is then necessary to use numerical differentiation to evaluate or estimate derivatives.
In spite of the remarkable development of technology, most studies for building energy controls to evaluate or estimate the energy performance have not accurately reflected actual building's energy consumption patterns.
Finally, the paper is concluded in Section 7. Several studies have addressed the issue of evaluating or estimating the reliability of WSNs.
However, the impact of the approximations introduced by this abstraction process is difficult to evaluate or estimate, as reported by Gillespie in [ 13] for enzymatically catalysed reactions.
Certain unknown reaction and heat transport parameters are either evaluated through indirect measurements or estimated from steady-state temperature and concentration data.
We also evaluated changes in OR estimates when additionally controlling for sex of the infant, prenatal care, payment source for prenatal care, whether the mother was born in the United States, maternal birthplace, and a previously developed socioeconomic status (SES) metric (Cheng et al. 2009; Yost et al. 2001).
Renal function in patients was evaluated using estimated glomerular filtration rate values.
For each method of analysis, we evaluated the estimated treatment effect, the type I error rate, and the power.
According to the given definition, in all publications evaluated, the estimated risk of bias was considered as high (Tables 7).
