They are designed to generate information representative of all TB cases over the entire country, not only in the hotspots.
The handouts that are used to compile data from these systems, issued by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC), explicitly state why this is so: "It is important to note that the information from the people who inject drugs survey (PWID) is not representative of illicit drug use in the general population and nor is the information representative of all illicit drug users".
For some studies, data are also collected on comparison women, providing information representative of the population of women giving birth as a whole, and so allowing for quantification of risk associated with maternal demographic and other characteristics.
We use a combination of individual-level data (i.e., observed and recorded information on a representative population sample of individuals) with data representative of the whole population (i.e., population data from national registers) to calculate expected outcomes in each scenario using decision analytic modelling (see Additional file 3, Figure 1).
"If the MasterCard information is representative of the industry," it said, "there could be one to two million U.S. citizens with debit-credit cards issued by offshore banks".
The basic goal of an LA algorithm is to choose the best possible MCS over varying channel conditions [18], whereas the main principle is to use in this decision a certain channel state information (CSI) representative of the quality of the wireless channel.
Frames from the final 6 ns of the simulation were investigated further with a clustering procedure (incorporated in the program X-Cluster, Schrodinger, LLC) that, based on the cross-RMSDs between frames, identified three structures (PDB S1, PDB S2, PDB S3, Supporting Information) as representative of all the states sampled during this part of the MD run.
Try not to worry about that just now.' Evie's response to Bruce's desire for information was representative of most of the 'deferring' responses, she indicated that she heard Bruce's PN and attempted to placate him.
However, in the FREE study the results obtained for the CC analysis were reasonably consistent with the MM, not being an imputation method, and MI suggesting those patients with complete information were representative of the randomised population.
As a consequence, EST repertories equal to or larger than 100 cDNA-AFLP clones can be considered sufficient to obtain a sequence information content representative of the main GO categories.
But in what appears to have been an accidental data breach, the city provided, as part of one data set, private information from representatives of women's groups.
