The study was based on one EPAR summary, which was of a representative size for such summaries.
Second, among all sets of such summary statistics, choose the set that has the smallest estimation error for θ.
We draw on an extensive database of such summary statistics.
In the long-term, our goal is to explore the use of such summaries for functions such as document retrieval and information extraction.
As there is no such summary question available for milk and milk products due to difficulty in standardising serving size for various dairy foods, frequency questions were used to estimate the intake of the dairy servings for the DAIRY component.
A 2007 law requires companies to publish brief summaries of clinical trials, but such summaries rarely provide enough information for an independent study of the product's safety.
Such summaries may be particularly useful for policymakers without a strong health or research background.
However, such summaries may yield the working hypotheses or key categories for future theory-based research [ 1].
Another important consideration in looking for such a one-dimensional summary is scalability -these contribution values (CV) should be computable given a very partial data set, as the entire set of 2 n experiments can hardly ever be accomplished in reality.
Estimating a single summary statistic for such heterogeneous effects is challenging.
Apart from our principal concerns regarding the meaningfulness of such a summary estimate for reasons mentioned above, it is important to do the calculations methodologically correctly, that is by considering the relative frequencies of CRC and its precursors in the general population.
