We used Bayes' theorem to assess the performance of each test in predicting weaning outcome as a function of the prevalence of weaning success or failure in the prospective validation-set [ 14].
The clinical relevance of this line of investigation is a function of the prevalence of trauma in our world today and the need to provide life-saving intervention quickly after injury.
Polymorphisms were selected in function of affecting the phenotype and having a minimum prevalence of 5%.
These probabilities in turn can be conceived of as functions of the prevalence of the disease and the degree of dependence within twin pairs.
The required sample size in a survey is a function of the expected prevalence, the diagnostic test performance and the required precision.
Such modular method has been widely used in prediction of molecular functions because of the prevalence of modular organization of biological networks [ 51].
In this paper we determine the multifractal nature of almost every function (in the prevalence setting) in a given Sobolev or Besov space according to different regularity exponents.
The difference would tend to confirm that studies based upon a single time-point assessment of kidney function overestimates the prevalence of CKD in population-based studies.
Aging is a complex biological process that results in a gradual decline in physiological function and increases the prevalence of chronic diseases (Young, 1997; Kennedy et al., 2014).
Aging causes structural changes in the gastrointestinal tract, which cause a significant decline in gastrointestinal function and increase the prevalence of several gastrointestinal motor disorders such as dyspepsia and constipation.
