However, from the standpoint of conventional research methodologies, the numbers of participants usually has been too restricted to make firm judgments about the likely efficacy of particular complementary and alternative therapies.
Whenever we tried adjusting our polls to match what other pollsters do, or tried telephone rather than online methodologies, the numbers stayed more or less the same.
For the application of the proposed methodology the number of fatal accidents in Spain during 2000 2011 was used.
Even with a fixed HCA methodology, the number of ties in proximity might be very high and depends on the number of elements to classify [21].
Although each university offers courses in general pedagogy and teaching methodology, the number of subject-specific didactic courses varies across universities.
Factors related to the test design can be considered as having an impact on the experimental results: the number, type and length of the stimuli, the range and type of impairments, the experimental context, the testing methodology, the number of test participants, and the targeted application.
Using the World Health Organization Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical clATC/DDDation/Defined Daily Doses (ATC/DDD) methodology, the number of DDD was calculated from data collected from pharmacies on the number and size of drug packages.
By using multiple data sources and capture-recapture (CR) methodology the number of cases that could have been missed by any of the sources is estimated [ 22- 24].
Also, the response rate could not be calculated since, due to practical limitations imposed by the survey methodology, the number of clinicians invited to participate in the survey that met the relatively stringent inclusion criteria was not possible to determine.
Consistent with qualitative methodology, the number of participants was not intended to be numerically representative and the final sample of GPs included practice populations with high levels of deprivation, high percentage ethnic minority and of varying sizes (Table 1).
