Linear, quadratic, exponential and S-Curve models were sequentially fitted to the data and for each model its adequacy was assessed using the mean absolute percentage error, mean absolute deviation and the mean squared deviation.
All tags are then tested for genome adequacy, against each prokaryotic genomic sequence found at the NCBI FTP server [ 17].
The EFISS includes a rating system for assessing the adequacy of each characteristic, the first such attempt for a public health-related surveillance system [ 8- 10, 41, 58].
LR tests for testing the adequacy of each of these random-coefficient structures and their asymptotic null distributions are derived.
Each diet was assessed for nutrient adequacy using nutrition software (version 1.1; University of Minnesota Nutrition Data System for Research).
Each report was assessed for the adequacy of allocation concealment, blinding, performance of an intention to treat analysis and the extent of loss to follow-up.
In order to evaluate sampling adequacy to perform a satisfactory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) [ 35] measure of sampling adequacy for each item was examined using the anti-image of the correlation matrix, to determine whether all the measures of sampling were above the acceptable level of 0.5 [ 36].
A gradient was also noted for income adequacy, whereby smoking prevalence was lower for each increasing level of income adequacy.
Among Colombian senior students, we found that once gender, student perception of the school's health promotion efforts, basic knowledge and perception of training adequacy for each healthy habit were accounted for, healthy practices remained associated with a positive attitude toward preventive counseling for nutrition, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use.
The individual measures of sampling adequacy for each of the 30 items were examined in the anti-image of the correlation matrix, with most items above 0.9 (marvellous) or 0.8 (meritorious); five items were between 0.7 and 0.8 (middling), and four items were between 0.6 and 0.7 (mediocre).
