German doctors who searched for such cases found 30 instances of survival over nearly 30 years, according to an article published in the journal BMC Medicine in 2010.
For instance, the decrease of survival among birds older than 4y old during 1986–2007 (a = 0.264, b = 0.241) showed a long-term temporal autocorrelation (i.e., red noise), whereas for birds up to 4y old (a = −0.018, b = 0.250) survival exhibited a short-term temporal autocorrelation (i.e., blue noise).
Censored patients (those with missing information on survival time) can influence results, for instance by overestimation of survival [ 45, 46].
In most instances the likelihood of survival after exposure to infectious agents or poisons is normally distributed, and therefore cumulative dose-survival curves display sigmoidal responses with subthreshold doses failing to elicit disease and high doses plateauing towards maximal effects.
He described Clingstone as an instance of "marvelous archeological survival," a place that has "taken a second breath and has been kept alive by dedicated work".
A decade ago, for instance, Myia's chance of survival would have been less than 50%.
For instance, in the interests of survival, it makes sense for humans to weigh potential losses more heavily than gains.
For instance, median survival of patients with blast phase (BP) CML who are refractory or intolerant to imatinib is 3 to 9 months.
In no instance was there a shortening of survival time following administration of MER at a location away from the tumour implant.
This could, for instance, happen if the probability of survival depends on a specific trait varying across the lineages of the phylogeny [ 21].
