The method of calculating proxy denominators was similar to that used by Fitzpatrick et al 8 to report the incidence of uterine rupture in the VBAC and ERCS groups.
This supports that our method is robust regardless of proxy numbers, unlike methods such as nested regression (see section S1.2 of appendix S1) and is further evidence for the quality of our reconstructions.
First, while both the HRS and ELSA are nationally representative samples, differences between the two studies in overall response rates, and in methods for the recruitment of proxy respondents to answer for sample members, could have important implications for the comparison of cognitive function of those included in our analysis.

As there is no way of directly measuring utility during a seizure episode, the only method of eliciting utilities is by proxy, either from clinicians or parents.
We build the one-obstacle solution operator using separation into P azimuthal modes via the FFT, the method of fundamental solutions (with N proxy points lying on a curve), and dense direct least-squares solves; the effort is O N3P) with a small constant.
The court reversed the blocking order allowing internet users access to the Pirate Bay without having to resort to the use of proxy servers and other methods circumventing the blockade.
As the number of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site, d N, is informative of the combined effect of mutation and selection, we used Σd N (see Materials and Methods) as a proxy of the evolvability of the corresponding subset of residues.
