Opponents imply that this is what makes CBT attractive to policymakers, as if price were an index of effectiveness.
The principle of a 'full' Bayesian approach was described by Hauer [21, 22] for studying the index of effectiveness θ of a road measure: the prior probability density function of the parameter θ, reflecting the prior knowledge concerning this parameter, is combined with the likelihood function (probability of the data given the parameter) to obtain the posterior probability density function.
Moreover, the validity of the ratio F N / F P. as an index of effectiveness is questionable [ 203].
An index of effectiveness and safety was proposed and calculated for every tool; adhesive remnant volume and duplicated enamel lost volume were divided by a sum of multiplicands.
Both parameters, although different from overall survival, may represent a preliminary index of effectiveness, that can be useful in a preliminary analysis.
The development of a nodule at the side of the injection, growing in size up to almost 20% of the animal weight in 2 weeks, was considered as an index of effectiveness of the inoculation.
Finally, reviewing the papers reporting data about quality of life assessment in oncology, some points can be highlighted: - Quality of life assessment represents an independent outcome in clinical research and an index of effectiveness of a treatment.
Clinicians and researchers must therefore be advised to use the most generalizable index of effectiveness, while keeping in mind that the actual degrees of expected overlap may not be as high as one would expect.
Preparatory activity was further analyzed in relation to response speed, which is often taken as an index of effectiveness of task preparation (e.g., Lavric et al. 2008; Karayanidis et al. 2011).
The diagonality of the matrix is, in fact, an index of the effectiveness of effective decomposition of needs and CTQs (Critical To Qualities) at an appropriate level of detail.
