This top-down approach is a useful instrument to simplify estimations of complex cost-generating processes.
Integrated sensing and processing (ISP) is a new strategy for instrument design to simplify quantitative or qualitative analysis.
The results of this first validation show promising results, suggesting that the PSYCa 3 6 should be validated in other contexts, to test the post-traumatic component of the tool and to simplify further the instrument.
To simplify the instrument and increase its relevance to adolescents two minor changes were made to the CAM in consultation with adolescents from Highland Youth Voice (a youth parliament for the Scottish Highlands [ 24]) which are described in detail elsewhere [ 25].
To simplify comparison between these two instruments the raw scores of both instruments were transformed into percentage scores (0 100, worst to best possible score).
To simplify comparability between the instruments, we transformed all scores into a one-hundred-point scale (0 100 points, with 100 meaning the highest level of mindfulness, PSS, and SWS).
To achieve singularity, Mr. Howard said he strove to simplify the score, to minimize the number of instruments -- strings, trumpets and piano, with limited orchestrations -- and to focus on a couple of themes.
Howard and Shyamalan chose to simplify the score, and minimized the number of instruments (strings, trumpets and piano), with limited orchestrations.
To simplify the use of the clinical predictive screening instrument, the coefficients were multiplied by 30 and named 'risk scores' (Table 2).
