An important feature is that the missing data imputation is carried out based on the full data, for maximal information and consistency.
Analysis of qualitative interview data followed classic methodology for identifying themes, patterns and relationships in each interview separately, subsequently crossing and comparing with other interviews in order to check for consistency of information (Bernard 2002; Ryan and Bernard 2003).
However a need to balance professional uncertainty with patients' and families' needs for consistency in information was evident.
Moreover, both qualitative and quantitative data with ocular observations from diverse sources, which permitted for triangulation to validate information collected from various sources for consistency.
Ontologies are specifications of a conceptualization of a domain (Gruber, 1993) and are used to make the meaning of terms in a vocabulary explicit (Guarino, 1998) such that they can be used for consistency verification, information retrieval and knowledge discovery.
After the ETAC, the database was cleaned and verified for consistency of the information collected.
Likewise, all participants echoed the need for consistency of MRSA information and a step-by-step plan to manage the condition.
The obtained parameter trajectories have been analyzed for consistency, which gives information regarding how well these adaptations are constrained by the data and can be predicted by the model.
Historically this has been the ugly flipside of politicians striving for consistency of brand: centralised information, state-controlled media, re-education camps, purging of dissidents and much worse.
