This method gives equal weighting to views of each participant reducing the risk of one particular participant or view dominating.
The former method gives equal weight to each item in the table, while the latter gives equal weight to the categories but the importance of each item varies with the number of items in a category.
We used in our developments a weighted method to assess the group effect: this method gives equal weight to each subject, whatever the size of his/her center is.
The other methods gave equal weight to all quintiles (weighting to the entire sample) or less weight to quintile 1, producing smaller rate ratios, that is, less risk associated with treatment compared with nontreatment.
To calculate WDER, individual thresholds are set on each method such that all the methods give equal TPR and the FPR at this TPR is calculated from the ROC curve.
Both of these methods give equal weight to sensitivity and specificity but fail to consider disease prevalence and the financial, emotional, and ethical costs of misdiagnoses.
This is because both methods occasionally greatly over-estimate the mean time when there are relatively few events at long follow up times, and because the methods give equal weight to the Kaplan-Meier curve at long and short follow up times.
The two methods were given equal priority.
Using a convergent-parallel approach, quantitative and qualitative methods were given equal priority, data were gathered concurrently, and integration took place at the interpretation or conclusion stage of the research.
The non-kernel-based learning classification methods [for instance, the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method] usually give equal or comparative weight to each training sample, which may not be reasonable in some cases.
