where represents the number of resource elements (time-frequency resources) used over the packet transmission thus far, is the index over the resource elements, represents the signal-to-interference and noise ratio on th resource element, and is function that is specific to the model.
First, duration and/or frequency of resources used by patients were collected via a questionnaire-based interview.
Costs per patient resulted from multiplying the unit costs by the frequencies of resources used for the individual patient (unit costs × volumes of use).
Survey responses were used to determine the types and frequency of medical resources used in follow-up, annual direct medical costs, and survivor perceptions of the personal economic impact of breast cancer.
No differences were found in the frequencies of other resources used in the PGY-2 year; and treatment and control groups did not differ on any of the resources used during the PGY-3 year (p > 0.05).
Costs per patient resulted from multiplying the mean prices (from the cost catalogue) by the frequencies and dosages of resources used for the individual patients derived from the assessed data.
At the beginning of each session, participants filled out a survey on the type and frequency of community and health resources used for their self-management.
At the beginning of each focus group session, the participants filled out a survey designed by the team to capture the type and frequency of community and health resources used for their self-management over the past six months.
It assesses information on resources used (e.g. frequency and duration of hospitalization, visits to health care professionals and type of care, medication use, use of social services) for both patients and informal caregivers.
The reason is that only one-third of the frequency resources can be used in each cell-edge.
The CUEs in the center zone use the frequency resources that are not used in the outer region of the same cell (F1 and F3 in Figure 2e).
