Using the Hierarchical Triangular Mesh scheme for practical geographic indexing [34, 35], we assigned a US county to each tweet.
What it does is help developers make applications location-aware by identifying places in unstructured and atomic content (think RSS feeds, web pages, news, status updates etc.) and returning geographic metadata for geographic indexing and markup.
Following Asgharian et al. (2013), we develop the geographic proximity index as follows: {Geo}_{i,j}=frac{max_{i,j}{Dist}_{i,j}-{Dist}_{i,j}}{max_{i,j}{Dist}_{i,j}-{min}_{i,j}{Dist}_{i,j}}, (6 where Disti, j is the geographic distance between the capital cities of country pairs, Geoi, j takes the value of 1 if country j is the nearest to country i, and equals to 0 if the farthest.
A geographic availability index was derived for each health planning area using a gravity model.
Reconciling findings may also be challenging as some studies approach socio-economic inequalities in access to care and treatment using individual-level characteristics (in terms of income, education, and economic activity) while others use geographic variables (index of multiple deprivation (IMD)).
I respect the stock pickers, but we invest as indexers, and indexers who index by style, capitalization, geographic and sector.
Other significant multivariable predictors for cost included WRFt, sepsis, cardiogenic shock, pneumonia, emergency admission, geographic region, and index year.
We worked with our regional Medicare payment scheme but are aware of regional variations and possible higher reimbursement according to the Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI).
We used an index of geographic availability of orthopaedic surgeons that incorporates travel distances and will examine geographic variation in utilisation rates across 105 smaller health planning areas.
Spatial complexity generalizes the complexity index at geographic scales, and application of complexity to replacement cost and sales price models are illustrated.
