We obtain a more flexible estimation procedure giving better estimates particularly when the auxiliary information is overly abundant or not fully appropriate to be completely used.
This masked the important short-term increase in risk for patients with low baseline albumin, below 35 mg l 1, shown by the flexible spline estimate, for t=3 months, in Figure 3.
And Global Workplace Analytics, a research firm that investigates the business case for flexible work, estimates 80%-90 80%-90e United States workforce prefers to telecommute part-time.
Besides, our evaluation approach, which consists in comparing actual outcomes to predicted ones, is less parametric and more flexible than estimating treatment effects within a regression model.
The model is flexible enough to estimate some of the parameters required to estimate the cancer burden.
The article length is flexible, but I estimate it to be less than 3,700 words.
Multiple corrosion models and failure pressure models have been incorporated into a single flexible network to estimate corrosion defects and associated probability of failure (PoF).
We use a choice-based stated preference survey where crowding levels are represented by means of specially designed pictures, and use these data to estimate flexible discrete choice models.
The two distances are then combined to form a GLMD based cost matrix which provides a flexible way to estimate correspondences by minimizing global or local structural differences using a linear assignment solution.
Antle ([1983]; [1987]) provide a flexible way to estimate Equations 3 and 4 which only requires information on prices, input quantities and other observable variables.
Judson, Schmalensee, and Stoker [15] estimate flexible spline Engel curves relating per capita energy consumption to per capita GDP in major economic sectors.
