A focus on variability requires going beyond measures of central tendency to characterize the pattern of mortality across the full range of ages, yet previous evaluations of mathematical mortality models have rarely considered their capacity to accurately represent age differences in lifespan variability trends.
While these patients represent the target population for the final CD-PRO/SS, it is generally best to include subjects with a full range of disease severity in psychometric evaluation studies to optimize testing and assure consistent score performance across this overall range in severity.
Results indicate a dichotomous classification of raters does not support the full range of options available to researchers for creativity evaluation (Plucker et al. 2008, 2009).
It allows us to make a quantitative evaluation of the full range of evolutionary outcomes of the system and an assessment of the likely contribution of sexual conflict to change in sex determination systems.
Despite these improvements, comparison between mean predicted and mean observed AQoL utility scores implies that the predictive validity of the index- and item-based Barthel algorithms remains inadequate for the purposes of economic evaluation across the full range of stroke severity.
Thus, further evaluations of the full range of CNVs are needed to fully estimate their impact on obesity.
The limited geographical scope of these reviews and the recent technological development justify a systematic review of the literature, including epidemiological evaluations, over the full range of technologies available in any kind of setting.
Ideally, such evaluations should consider the full range of nine possible policy objectives identified in Table 1, so that lessons can be learnt by other cities.
In the end, more comprehensive test evaluations that incorporate the full range of effects of testing on patients will lead to better decisions about testing and, consequently, to a more effective and efficient health care system.
Advanced bibliometric techniques, integrated systematically with other methods for assessing the full range of impact of scientific output, can yield important information for evaluation and monitoring an entity's productivity.
