The slope index of inequality (SII) has some attractive properties: it gives an inequality measure across the full range of SEP; not just comparing the two extreme groups, it accounts for differing group sizes, and allows a more fair comparison across different measures of SEP.
15 These measures have two ideal properties: firstly, they are regression based and therefore give an inequality measure across the full range of socioeconomic status (not just comparing the two most extreme groups), and secondly, they allow for differing group size of time or place.
In the external validation data set the model outperformed the Gail model by 3 5%% for differing age groups and follow-up intervals based on the AUC.

"Barriers differ for different groups of physicians," Holly Andrilla, lead study author and research scientist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, told HuffPost.
However, there has been little examination of values underpinning PI or how these values might differ for different groups with an interest in PI in the research process.
The start-up time, the biogas production peak value, and the time of the peak value which was reached differed for different groups.
It is important to understand variations in infant feeding by ethnicity as research on this topic might imply differing interventions for different groups.
Our findings also imply that interventions to promote PA need to address different factors for men and women as well as for differing socio-economic and demographic groups.
The Approximately Unbiased test and the Genetic Algorithm for Recombination Detection both provided further support for differing evolutionary histories among this group of genes.
