The main outcomes of the process evaluation are derived from previous work [ 52, 53] and Saunders and colleagues [ 54] and include: population reached, performance according to protocol, exposure and engagement, opinion on the training, perceived benefit or achievement, and experienced barriers and potential solutions.
Project evaluation is derived from a cash flow model, regarding reservoir production profile, price and costs, capital expenditures (CAPEX), operating expenditures (OPEX), carbon credits, depreciation time, fiscal assumptions etc.
The parameter estimate for effectiveness of the programme used in this evaluation was derived from a cluster randomised controlled trial.
As the gold standard for overlap evaluation was derived from the dermatologists' original markings, results of the dermatologists were not included for analysis.
The basis for the framework of the image quality evaluation was derived from frequently cited image quality criticisms in a prior study of radiology lectures [ 3].
A second limitation is that the Systematic Review method used in this evaluation is derived from the social and behavioral sciences and is not commonly used in medical research evaluation.
Even the affinity evaluation was derived from a shape complementarity search, because in practice, the affinity analysis revealed that a shape complementarity search can identify a pair with such a docking type in a sophisticated manner from 400 protein pair candidates.
14 Therefore, such models can be used to predict the possible final results, such as in our case, when the clinical trial is incomplete or lacking important data (in this case, the data necessary for the economic evaluation was derived from different and nonhomogeneous sources) and only measures an intermediate result or has a short-period follow-up.
It is worth observing that, although the metrics adopted in the above evaluation phase are derived from [10], a direct comparison of the results obtained by the proposed technique with achievements reported in the reference paper is not feasible since in [10] the prevailing orientation of a whole patch is extracted, rather than the orientation of each single brushstroke.
