However, it is currently not a reliable process for establishing data quality, nor does it represent an unequivocal metric for establishing relative merit of data or interpretation and conclusions drawn from those data.
In this section we present three case studies to illustrate the merits of some data analysis and visualization options in Chipster, such as linear modelling, alternative probe mappings, and data integration.
The F.D.A. granted marketing approval for Claritin based on the merits of the data submitted by Schering-Plough.
We then evaluated the relative merits of competing data partitioning strategies and alternative models by Bayes factors.
The merits of the data include, among other factors, a high rate of subject follow-up through 1 year (93%; n = 92/99).
However, in contrast to this work, the merits of our data are that it has been validated in a large sample size.
Therefore, if P4P is to contribute to improved patient outcomes, efforts should continue to focus on creating reliable and easy to apply methods for extraction and validation of patient-level data, and the merits of information technology for these purposes should be explored further.
This paper describes the architecture of the multi-sensor system, highlighting merits and problems of data processing and control.
The vigour of surveillance data collection should balance the workload, the merits of the collected data, and system-responsiveness to emerging signals [ 12].
Together, these data provide insight into the processes of I. scapularis and B. burgdorferi establishment, the emergence of B. burgdorferi in the Canadian environment, and the merit of these data for identifying emerging regions of endemic LD risk to inform the public health community.
