By using likelihood analysis, the likelihood values under a range of quanta generation rate values, a1 and a2 can be obtained (data not shown).
By using likelihood analysis, the likelihood values under a range of quanta generation rate, b1 and b2 can be obtained (data not shown).
In the July 2013 edition the Register provides an updated government assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of different civil emergency risks (including naturally and accidentally occurring hazards and malicious threats) that may directly affect the UK over the next five years.
The sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios and predictive values of a range of foot length measurements using the plastic ruler are shown in Table 2.
For example, again we shall take the seven deaths occurring out of 182 patients and use maximum likelihood estimation to estimate the probability of death, p. Figure 3 shows the likelihood calculated for a range of values of p. From the graph it can be seen that the value of p giving the maximum likelihood is close to 0.04.
These include: (1) cohort size, which offers higher statistical power than many others; (2) minimal loss to follow-up, thereby reducing the likelihood of selection bias; and (3) measurement of a range of physiological and behavioural covariates which permit consideration of confounding.
They argue that variations in SNPs are correlated with the likelihood of developing a range of nasty diseases.
But studies like the Lancet commission on pollution make it clear that poor air quality increases not only the likelihood of developing a range of respiratory illnesses, but also the frequency and severity of bouts of those illnesses.
Indeed, individuals with diabetes have significantly higher likelihood of developing a range of different cancers including liver, pancreatic, colorectal, breast, endometrial, and bladder cancers [ 4, 5].
After being presented with the vignette, respondents were questioned about what was wrong with the person, how they could be helped, the likely helpfulness of a range of interventions, the likelihood of recovery, knowledge of causes and risk factors, beliefs associated with stigma and discrimination, contact with people like those in the vignette, and the health of the respondent.
