The method is also evaluated based on some statistical measures and statistical test is done to establish its significance and effectiveness.
The study results must be summarized in a tabular format, per Arm/Group, in four (4) scientific modules: Participant Flow, Baseline Characteristics, Outcome Measures and Statistical Analyses, and Adverse Events.
In this chapter, we review some of the major issues that have been raised in the literature on siblings, addressing theoretical approaches, research designs, measures, and statistical methods used in sibling research.
Several continuous quality improvement (CQI) interventions, process measures, and statistical techniques deal with drift of care in both the intervention and usual care arms to ensure the internal validity of the study.
A conference addressing how to establish the incidence of inflicted traumatic brain injury in young children provided the opportunity to examine issues of definitions, passive versus active surveillance, study designs, proxy measures, and statistical issues.
Some areas discussed are the role of disease and transplant databases in designing and analysing clinical trials, design options for early-phase trials, maintaining clinical equipoise, eligibility criteria, blinding, outcome measures and statistical analysis, and the composition and role of the data safety and monitoring boards.
Difference measures and statistical-oriented metrics.
The remaining FR metrics considered in this study are all designed for LDR content and can be divided into different categories: difference measures and statistical-oriented metrics, structural similarity measures, visual information measures, information weighted metrics, HVS inspired metrics, and objective color difference measures (studied in the vision science).
The complete list of considered FR metrics is provided in the following: Difference measures and statistical-oriented metrics These metrics are based on pixel color differences and provide a measure of the difference between the reference image and the distorted image.
Soil disturbance, cone index, bulk density and draft were measured and statistical analyses conducted to determine the differences between subsoilers.
Hospital mortality was the primary outcome measure and statistical significance was assessed using Fisher's exact test.
