In such cases, a reasonable approximation is that, on average, one partner is treated for each patient provided with therapy for his or her partner(s) [ 53].
Remember, this in on average.
The approximation and convergence technique compared favorably with the Monte Carlo modeling calculations presented in the literature, while using, on average, less than 1/100th of the CPU time.
This method has time complexity linear in the number of players, but has an approximation error that is, on average, lower than Owen's.
The estimate provides an approximation of how much students learn on average transiting from lower secondary to upper secondary education.
These data demonstrated that the Taylor approximation formula in [4] agrees quite well with the empirical results (averages of log adjusted RRs in the simulations) and that the adjustments are on average in the right direction for positive confounding (SRR < crude RR, panel A) and negative confounding (SRR > crude RR, panel B).
How much: The eight glasses a day isn't based by any solid evidence -- so no need to count -- but is pretty good approximation for an average person in average circumstances.
Investors, on average, put in $40,000.
On average, the initial allocation provided by the convex approximation achieves 97.57 % efficiency.
For the antidepressants network, on average only 2% of precision is lost by the approximation based on independent paths instead of the subnet.
In fact, unsigned (signed) LTR required in the average only 8 (9) seconds in networks with 5000 nodes whereas TRANSWESD (in approximation mode!) needed 150 (260) seconds.
