The indicators constructed in this way follow over time exactly the variation of the respective national indicators in the UNDP database, while their subnational variation follows the pattern of subnational variation in the nearest year with real information.
The main outcome measures were health services utilization indicators constructed from OHIP data within 3 months postabortion from office consultations, emergency room consultations, and hospital admissions.
The two synthetic indicators pass simple validation tests: for example they correlate well with similar indicators constructed by the OECD for its member countries, which are arguably the most complete measures available.9.9
Many scholars believe that the various indicators constructed on the basis of big data (e.g., those of market sentiments, divergence in opinions, and level of attention) impact multiple variables, including stock returns, trading volumes, and volatility.
E) Estimation of the quality of ANC involved the indicators constructed in the first stage.
Our results also challenge the standard practice of focusing on the percentage of respondents with self-ratings of "fair" or "poor," as this indicator appears prone to greater cross-survey discrepancies than other indicators constructed from the same survey responses, such as the proportion with "excellent" self-ratings.
Cells were transfected with an indicator construct, pcDNA3-CALNLZ [32] that expresses the ß-galactosidase reporter gene in transfected cells conditionally, dependent on the Cre-mediated excision of a neomycin resistance-STOP-pA cassette inserted between it and a CAG promoter (Fig. 2A).
We believe that this practice addresses a potential weakness in many prior studies where expression patterns have been determined with an indicator construct inserted in one chromosomal site, while perturbing function with an effector residing at another site.
Secondary Distribution Index: An indicator constructed from the number of secondary distributions of stock occurring in a given period.
At least one item was developed for each indicator constructed through Phases 1 and 2, resulting in a 141-item instrument (plus demographic items).
