Let r = ∑ j = 1 n λ j be the total number of active indicators and define the list of active population size parameters Θ ^ = θ ^ 0, θ ^ 1,..., θ ^ r, θ ^ j = { θ 0 if j = 0 θ m if λ m = 1 and j = ∑ i = 1 m λ i.
Previously, we validated the accuracy of EVLW measurements obtained from postmortem lung samples using the single-indicator technique and defined statistically normal EVLW values, as determined through human autopsy [ 19].
We also construct a binary indicator and define an individual as having "high effort and diligence" if her/his score is in the top quartile of this effort index.
Three sets of variables were used to create the NW indicator, and define the age at which the subject commenced each specific episode of NW.
Confirmatory factor analysis with 2 factors, PLA (defined by 3 continuous indicators), and SIRS (defined by 4 categorical/ordinal indicators) and a path from SIRS to PLA was carried out using weighted least squares method appropriate for ordinal categorical indicators [ 24].
The main strength of this study is the comprehensive analysis of medication monitoring as well as prescribing safety indicators for a well-researched set of indicators and a defined population with linked primary and secondary care records.
Tracer indicators were identified and defined to assess the implementation and integration of the key programme components.
The Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) was used as an indicator of SDB and defined as the number of respiratory events (apneas and hypopneas) per hour of the total sleep time.
This paper proposes a formal framework for modelling goals based on performance indicators and defines mechanisms for establishing goal satisfaction, which enable evaluation of organisational performance.
12 The eleven organizational and clinical quality indicators and standards defined by the DKMS steering committee to monitor the Danish breast cancer screening program are participation, screening interval, time to result, radiation dose, recall, interval cancers, invasive tumors, node negative cancers, small cancers, breast conserving therapy, and ratio of surgery for benign to malignant lesions.
