We assumed that the treatment of indexed cases begins one day after the onset of clinical disease.
We considered a two-day window of opportunity for initiating treatment of indexed cases following the onset of clinical disease.
For the results reported here, we assumed that antiviral drugs are used for treatment of only indexed cases having the same estimated efficacy of application as during interpandemic influenza outbreaks.
Information on suicide cases and controls was based on third-person (next of kin) information obtained from face-to-face interviews relating to indexed cases and controls.
We are eagerly awaiting the final results (scheduled for next year) of Ian Jacobs' series comparing the individual CA125 profile obtained by longitudinal follow-up of asymptomatic patients with CA125 profiles corresponding to indexed cases of ovarian cancer [ 105, 106].
However, for an unmasked database and query, the indexed search may actually have worse performance compared to the non-indexed case, if the query contains highly repetitive regions.
To compare how the query length and the number of results affected the performance of the indexed database search compared to non-indexed case, the query sets qsmall, qmedium and qlarge were run against unmasked indexed databases.
Therefore, we generalize the results of [10 20] for the single-indexed weighted case or nonweighted case to the double-indexed weighted case under WOD random variables.
Lewis interprets the probabilities involved as temporally indexed single-case chances.
In this paper, we investigate the inverse moments (1.1) for the double-indexed weighted case, that is, for (X_{n}=sum_{i=1}^{n}w_{ni}Z_{i}), where ({w_{ni},1leq ileq n,ngeq 1}) is a triangular array of nonnegative nonrandom weights, and ({Z_{n},ngeq1}) is a sequence of nonnegative and widely orthant dependent (WOD) random variables.
