Taken together, the empirical measurements and simulation both suggest that potential for data recovery is a function of cluster density and the diversity of the barcode sequences, with the greatest benefits occurring with densely-clustered single barcode libraries.
The ratio τ esc τ off, which is an indicator of agonist pMHC entrapment, is a function of TCR cluster size and k on, but not k off.
The GEE accounts for clustering by weighting each cluster inversely to its variance matrix, which is a function of the within-cluster dependence (35).
For a design involving cluster sampling, the appropriate sample size depends on the so-called design effect, which is a function of the average cluster size and the intracluster correlation coefficient (ICC).
Optical absorption of the structures at the initial phase of the layer growth is a function of the gold cluster density.
The increase in sample size is measured through an inflation factor, which is a function of both the cluster size and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), which appraises the correlation between individuals within the same cluster [ 1- 3, 8].
As stated by Sankar and Cho [ 41]: " the appearance of clustering is a function of how populations are sampled, of how criteria for boundaries between clusters are set, and of the level of resolution used.
The degree of the increase in sample size is a function of both ICC and cluster sizes where generally a greater ICC requires enrollment of a greater number of patients in the trial [ 3].
When boils are clustered, natural saltwater upconing is a function of the total discharge of a boil cluster, whereas the boil-to-boil salinity variations within a cluster are determined by the discharge of individual boils and their position relative to neighboring boils.
This is a function of the variation only among cluster totals and so will be minimised if clusters are similar.
72 The age-standardization algorithm computes the influence of age on the probability of detecting infection at a given cluster location, which by extension is a function of the underlying transmission of that cluster.
