Note that most edges in the network have a small weight: over 30% of the edges have weight less than 1 and less than 1% of the edges have weight greater than 4. Intuitively, this indicates that the number of cases disputed by lawyers that have already faced each other is rather small.
We included this trial in order to be inclusive, and because it would have a small weight in the overall results.
Placebo participants in all adherence subgroups remained within 1% of their baseline weight, on average, over the 2 years (Table 1), except for the 7% who were highly adherent with placebo, who had a small weight gain of 1.2% (P < 0.05 for the highly adherent compared with the >50% adherent group; all other P values >0.05).
Procter & Gamble, supposedly worth only $107, a tad more than its share price, has a smaller weighting.
By definition, the funds that do well will have returns for all the years of the sample; the duds will drop out and will have a smaller weight.
We found that children who had a smaller weight at birth had evidence of greater blood flow to the right hemisphere than to the left hemisphere (r = −.09, P = .29 at rest; r = −.18, P = .04 following stress).
People with higher activity levels had a smaller weight (P = 0.02) and BMI (P = 0.002) than their less physically active counterparts.
Thus, measurements that have intermediate values (and we are therefore less certain if they are 'on' or 'off') have a smaller weight on the penalty associated with a mismatch with the Boolean output of the model.
However, we do not believe that this will have led to overestimation of weight loss, as those who self reported their weight at the time of predicted programme end had a smaller weight loss than did those who provided an objective measure of weight, but some measurement error may exist.
