The approach described in merging of event or topic models for identifying similar or discerning threads of news reports or messages over incremental time periods is unique to our work.
The deferral option can be solved via dynamic programming and it involves optimizing the binary decision to continue a process for another incremental time period or to stop it at the current time period.
The stabilization is characterized by an incremental freeze period: after this point, every change requires the approval of the release team.
For each incremental collection period between 1 and 12 hours we calculated the AUC for prediction of mortality or dialysis and compared it with the AUC for the 6-hour interval (Table 7).
The Lifestyle Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale (LSE) [ 22] was designed to assess confidence in one's ability to accumulate 30 minutes of physical activity on 5 or more days of the week for incremental one-month periods, from one month to six months.
To simulate a single influenza season, epidemiologic outcomes were calculated over a 1-year period; incremental costs, survival, and quality-adjusted survival reflect lifetime consequences of events occurring during this 1-year period.
Over the entire experimental period, incremental increases in true ileal digestible threonine intake increased weight gain (P=0.047) and improved feed conversion (P=0.002), but had no effects on feed intake (P=0.822).
