Following Cumming's (2012) recommendations, we present our findings in line with the estimation approach by calculating a precise estimate of the actual size of the effects.
It is obvious that the obtained relation is in line with the estimation for the field h x (see expression (15)) which provides quantum transitions into the quasiclassical zone of VBL spectrum.
Since about 85% of the German population is covered by the SHI [48], the model calculation is in line with the estimation of Nüllen et al. Furthermore, based on the recurrence rates used in the Base Case, our model calculated 248,200 initial surgery procedures which accounts for a proportion of 80.5percentt of all surgery procedures.
The sensitivity of the VNT can be estimated most reliably from these samples and is therefore >99%, which is in line with the estimation during the initial evaluation of the test, based on the distribution of titres in a smaller set of field samples.
The estimated prevalence of tuberculosis of 870/100,000 adults is high, but it is in line with the WHO estimation of a prevalence of 707/100,000.
Land holding, as expected, was also observed to have a positive and significant effect on loan amounts, which is in line with the OLS estimation results.
In line with the initial estimation for the basic values a and b in the previous example, now we assume that the values for the parameters a 1, a 2, b 1, and b 2 are E [ A 1 ] = a 1 = 0.35, E [ A 2 ] = a 2 = 0.15, E [ B 1 ] = b 1 = 0.2, E [ B 2 ] = b 2 = 0.1.
Even though the estimation is derived from a relatively short sample of 22 years, this estimate is in line with the recent estimations of Benati (2016) who considers a sample from 1948 to 2015.
The percentage of patients with CRNP identified in this study was in line with the international study estimation of 39.7% [ 18] and within the range of estimates reported in a recent review of studies of neuropathic pain in patients with cancer, which varied from 19% to 39% [ 4].
The ordering based on the item difficulty parameters was in line with the ordering based on the estimation of the items' difficulties by our expert group, and the easy, moderate, and difficult items were included in the final version.
The ordering of the items based on their locations on the latent dimension (i.e., their difficulty; see also Table 2) is in line with the ordering based on the estimation of the items' difficulties by our expert group in the test development process.
