The proposed price, Munoz said, is "ludicrous, inflated, based on erroneous financial assumptions" and contradicted by "MSG's 12 years worth of experience".
The violation of this assumption leads to inflated P-values (Barry et al., 2008), even for categories that are moderately correlated, and may lead to seriously biased conclusions.
Over the past years, cognitive interventions that have been effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders were adapted to a CBT model addressing typical dysfunctional assumptions in OCD, such as inflated responsibility, perfectionism, overestimation of threat and intolerance of uncertainty [ 13- 18].
However, these assumptions could lead to erroneous or inflated capacity estimates due to the driver variability and heterogeneity.
The distribution of the outcome variables CFL consumption and foraging rate were zero inflated and truncated, requiring transformation to meet model assumptions.
DISTLM is robust to zero-inflated data sets, such as ours, and makes no assumptions about the distribution of the response variable (i.e. normality does not have to be satisfied).
The GEE approach tends to result in inflated type I errors in such situations,, while the distributional assumptions of random effects models are difficult to verify without a large number of clusters.
