From 1908 to 1913 he studied the patterns of records of normal heart activity in order to gain precision in recognizing and interpreting deviations.
Building upon this insight, we first provide a summary of the concepts and attempts to gain precision in defining resilience and vulnerability, by relying on existing literature mainly from disaster risk sciences.
The relative share in the horizontal axis is calculated considering the average distribution in 2004/5 and 2005/6 to gain precision, but the results also hold when considering only the 2004/5 cross-section.
In randomised trials, it is important to be able to adjust for covariates to gain precision in estimating the mean cost.
The configuration of the sample strata assumed that HCV seroprevalence would vary systematically across the four strata and that prevalence estimates would gain precision.
It gains precision by borrowing strength from the common variance assumption, but it retains flexibility in allowing for differing between-trial variances.
For example, Figure 2A illustrates the ability of the meta-analyses to combine consistent expression patterns of genes across studies and gain precision of estimates.
Bobb et al. (2011) used MI to gain precision in QTL mapping, but they generated multiple imputes of the phenotypic data, not the genomic data.
In the context of multivariate meta-analysis, it is well known that we can gain precision by borrowing strength from other partially reported results [ 33– 33].
