The climatological risk index for accumulated, 'fatigue' damage is established, using a procedure to reduce irregular real-world climate histories into simple RH cycles of known damage impact.
Each index represents accumulated growth from period 0 to period t.
14 16 Two broad approaches to measuring frailty have been described; a specific biophysical phenotype unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slowness and low physical activity) 17 and an index of accumulated deficit model.
In some other settings, it may be that household assets, an index of accumulated wealth, may be less salient than regular personal income to meet out-of-pocket expenses.
Their results can possibly be explained by the fact that an index of accumulated deficits to measure frailty as used in their study, and containing 33 items (versus 5 and 3 items in the CHS and SOF, respectively) could be a more sensitive test for this purpose.
Estimated angles are multiplied with the corresponding known pilot indices and accumulated to get the term ∑x k ϕ k,lin Equation (16).
The final sample size achieved will depend on the number of new index cases accumulating during the study period.
The N nutrition index (NNI) and accumulated N deficit (Nand) ranged from 0.69 to 1.06 and 88.8 to −7.54 kg ha−1, respectively, over main growth stages.
A comprehensive geriatric assessment was conducted at TCP admission and discharge using the interRAI Home Care assessment tool, with frailty measured using an index of 57 accumulated deficits.
In this paper, we propose a multi-objective optimization scheme for the enhanced index tracking problem, which provides the framework of defining the objectives as both maximizing the degree of beating the benchmark index and minimizing the accumulated error of underperforming the benchmark.
