To create final pairings between specific high and low perceived risk facilities, we used the Gale-Shapely algorithm, 27 minimising structural difference scores between paired facilities while maximising the differences in vulnerability to missed alerts.
People tend to opt for the maximum total reward (as you'd expect from the fair-minded citizen), but they also show a tendency to maximise the difference between the groups (what you'd expect from the prejudiced cousin).
The split was chosen to maximise the difference in the responses between the two branches of the split.
We excluded patients with a moderately increased familial risk in order to maximise the difference in effect of family history.
One method of invalidation is to apply a dynamical input and try to maximise the difference in the phase shift of two competing deterministic models [ 8].
100 nM NPY pretreatment was used throughout, to maximise the difference in internalisation behaviour between wild type and mutant receptors (Fig. 1).
Thus, we concluded that the prediction of DFS rate via the ratio of TOP2B/ TOP2asas opposed to that of TOP2B alone is more accurate, and maximises the difference between the two patient populations (12.9 vs 5.2) in the univariate analysis.
This approach determines the optimal sample size that maximises the difference between the expected total cost (Total Cost) of a future trial and the monetary value of the information that it provides (EVSI).
