These consequences have been explored with an approach that calculates the intraclass correlation coefficient following the simulation of hypothetical sibling analyses.
Although we do not have external data to estimate the magnitude of selection bias, the results of hypothetical sensitivity analyses based on a selection bias factor defined by Rothman and Greenland (1998) suggest that the ORs obtained in this study are more likely to have been underestimated than overestimated.
Thirty-five publications were excluded due to study type (review, case-studies, hypothetical cost-saving analyses).
We obtained the following total benefits for the three sensitivity analyses hypothetical threshold values of 15, 24 and 100 μg/L: €22.722 billion, € 10.72 billion and €0.444 billion, respectively, in 2008 (Table 4).
We are grateful to Dr A. Frankish for help with analysing hypothetical transcripts, Dr G. Kleywegt, Dr B. Luisi, Mr R. Bickerton, Dr C. Worth, Dr N. Furnham, and Dr A. Prlic for helpful discussions.
All genes annotated as hypothetical proteins were analysed using InterproScan [ 43] to assign GO/InterPro IDs.
The global effect of the input parameters on responses was further quantified by analysing hypothetical homogeneous tumours.
It's not clear how the actual events in Japan will figure into the N.R.C. analyses of hypothetical accidents, when — or if — these analyses are ever publicly released.

I demonstrate this using visual representations of collinearity, hypothetical experimental designs, and analyses of both artificial and real world data.
