Four of these events were classified as saturation excess events, due to a shallow water table.
But, if one assumes causality, "the current consumption of sugar sweetened beverages was estimated to cause approximately 2m excess events of type 2 diabetes in the USA and 80,000 in the UK over 10 years.
The data presented at the meeting showed what physicists described as "excess events" across the search area - or mass region - where the Higgs has been predicted to be found.
An updated assessment, to be discussed at the Lepton Photon Conference in Mumbai, shows the excess events appear to be melting away, and along with them much premature excitement.
The statistical method regarded as having the best statistical power Tango's maximized excess events tests (Pfeiffer et al. 2008) has yet to be applied in the context of unintentional injuries.
The much anticipated results presented here in France show what physicists describe as "excess events" across the search area - or mass region - where the Higgs is predicted to be found.
Other methods have also been used in broader public health applications such as kernel density estimation, Moran's I, Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA), Getis Ord statistics, and Tango's maximized excess events test (Auchincloss et al. 2012; Fritz et al. 2013).
Estimates of excess events depend greatly on the approach used.
This area-level variation was assessed using the Tango's Maximised Excess Events Test (MEET) [ 18].
