If diagnostic dilemma still exists, sequential follow-up imaging, US examination of the neck and, at times, US FNAC may be needed [1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 33, 34, 38, 39].
Previous studies also considered the precise nature of the stringlike "correlated" motion, where two extremes seem to exist, sequential or concerted movement, and these can be distinguished by suitable analysis of the pathways.
For testing "univariate" binomial proportions, it has been proven that, under mild conditions, there exist group sequential designs which satisfy the pre-specified Type I error and power of the single-stage design while the sample size is bounded above by that of the single-stage design (Kepner and Chang, 2003).
In this article, it is proved that, under mild conditions, there exist group sequential tests which achieve the predesignated significance level and power with maximum total sample size bounded above by the sample size for the corresponding standard single-stage test.
Furthermore, for any channel realization, we show that there always exist a sequential path and a corresponding simple power allocation policy, which are optimal.
With the use of GEE, which is easy to implement and gives efficient estimates for the regression coefficients under weak correlation assumptions, the clustering effect of birth cohorts that may exist in sequential cross-sectional oral health survey data could be appropriately accounted for in the inferential procedures.
Proposition 4 illustrates that when asymmetry exists and demand is in area II equilibrium exercise will be sequential and instructive.
"It might be sequential," Gutmann says.
For the first time in the literature, it is proved that such a sequential procedure exists.
Then for each, there exists such that any sequential solution of problem (1.1), (1.2) with satisfies the equality (3..15).
No consensus exists for the appropriate sequential approach in treating LPHS.
