Sentence examples for importation parameters from inspiring English sources

Here, the authors present a method for analyzing typical nosocomial infection data consisting of results from arbitrarily timed screening swabs that overcomes these problems and enables simultaneous estimation of transmission and importation parameters, duration of colonization, swab sensitivity, and ward- and patient-level covariates.

The data sources supporting parameters for importation of infected cases reach beyond the modeled region requiring the regional models to couple with global importation models.

This was limited herein by the use of status asthmaticus and ARF associated with asthma diagnosis codes, and electronic medical records with automatic importation of clinical and biological parameters every 5 min.

Easy importation has been important to Armon DeMarco as well.

The Clinton Parameters are important.

This likely reflects a combination of a reduction in importation (affecting the proportion of travel-related cases, model parameter φ), possibly attributable to improved vaccination rates among travellers or to reduced endemicity in the destination countries (affecting the transmission rate βtrav) [ 30].

It must also be appreciated that these populations were developed by commercial breeding programs and thus environmental factors are not the only parameters affecting phenotype; selective breeding, as well as importation and hybridization of new genetic stock, has likely also influenced each population.

The observation model determines the likelihood of the observed data (the patient swabs) for a given realization of the epidemic process (the augmented data), and the transmission and importation model specifies the likelihood of the realization given the model parameters.

The proposed algorithm samples from all possible sets of augmented data consistent with the observed swab data and enables us to make inferences (and quantify uncertainty) about both the parameters of the transmission model and the total number of transmission and importation events.

We next investigated the effects of varying our transmissibility parameter Q and the effects of varying the likelihood of scabies importation, quantified by J (Fig. 6).

The former included used tire importation/storage companies, bamboo importers, harbours and airports and are mainly areas at risk for importation of exotic mosquito species.
