That is the implication of "Hitting or Missing the Retirement Target: Comparing Contribution and Asset Allocation Schemes of Simulated Portfolios," by Harold J.

To investigate the implication of missing data of DI, we performed best/worst case scenario sensitivity analyses by assigning the value 0 (best case) and the maximum values for the sub-cohorts (worst case) of the diagnostic intervals.
In HIV patients with presumed TB, the public health implication of missing a true case of TB far outweighs the added cost of detecting and treating a false case of TB.
The main implication of GWA studies is that the missing heritability is likely to be due to many DNA variants of small effect; although rare variants of large effect exist, they are unlikely to be a major source of heritability in the population (Wray et al., 2011).
Given a key implication of missing citations may be that it contributes to bias in systematic reviews [ 4], we concluded that analysis of the missed citations might fruitfully yield further MeSH terms which could be used to improve the sensitivity of the search.
Eleven per cent of included reviews discussed the implications of missing participant data in the Results section, and 10% addressed them in the Discussion section.
But given the financial implications of missing out on the Heineken Cup, which allows just three spots for Irish teams, it is little wonder the provinces prefer to keep tactics and ideas in-house.
