The objective of a long-term stability experiment is to confirm analyte stability in a given biological matrix, encompassing the duration of time from sample collection to sample analysis for a clinical or preclinical study.
Quality adjusted life-years (QALYs) can then be calculated from these data by summing the products of the utility for a given health state and the duration of time spent in each health state (Torrance 1987, Bell et al. 2001).
Given the long duration of time to PF/POM, prognostic markers such as these should help in stratifying patients in clinical trials and in devising more effective customized therapies for advanced PCa.
Effectively, this means that the chance of an individual recovering during any given time period does not depend on the duration of time that individual has already been infected.
Increasing the duration of time period could give a more generalized view of the patient's adherence over a longer period of time but at the same time increases the chance of introducing recall bias.
If the duration of time between hemodialysis codes exceeded 14 days on average, the duration of hemodialysis within a given year was estimated from individual dialysis codes.
Since the moment release acceleration should be temporally smaller around the peak of moment release rate, we define the duration time for SA as min. This definition gives the duration time about several tens of seconds, and its validity is described a bit later.
Given the short duration of the time courses analyzed in this work, we only consider HMMs with two or three states, called HMM2 and HMM3, respectively.
The theoretical distribution of the maximum exceedence over a given duration of time is derived based on the method suggested by Todorovic (1970) and certain parameters such as the most probable largest exceedence and the expected value of the largest exceedence for the given duration are also derived.
In the first problem, the objective is to design, for a given duration of time, scheduling schemes for IDS so that the probability of detecting an attack is maximized within that duration.
