This could lead to misleading results, as it is based on the assumption that censoring is "non-informative", meaning that a censored patient has the same risk of developing cancer as those who have complete follow-up.
We found that 16 (44%) RCTs reported incomplete compliance information, meaning that despite the authors' attempts to report information about missing data, it was unclear whether missing data was informative of poor health status or avoidable.
We present a general information-theoretic argument that all efficient communication systems will be ambiguous, assuming that context is informative about meaning.
A member of the Crisis Committee, Simo Drljača, who served as chief of police for Prijedor, has stated that there were 6,000 "informative conversations" (meaning interrogations) in Omarska, Keraterm and Trnopolje, and that 1,503 non-Serbs were transferred from those three camps to Manjača, leaving 4,497 unaccounted for according to Human Rights Watch.
For each annotation cluster, the term with the most informative biological meaning was used.
In total, we detected 977 informative SNPs (meaning that they were polymorphic for at least one strain among all 24 strains from the panel) defining intervals averaging 2.59 ± 2.95 Mb.
It should be pointed out that this strategy was only used if no male recombinations had been observed in a priori informative offspring, meaning that no recombination had been observed in a minimum of 92 (but usually many more) meioses.
Resulting censoring is 'informative', meaning that censoring carries information about or depends on the survival time.
For example, many discard non-informative input parameters, meaning models are not directly comparable amongst species as different species models will be built with different subsets of variables.
