In particular, we demonstrate the potential advantages of using DG methods over pseudo-spectral methods in situations where discontinuous fronts and rapid oscillations co-exist in a solution.
Further studies will be required to compare the performance of these methods in situations with larger numbers of predictors.
The method of Branson & Whitehead gave the smallest biases of all methods in situations where the potential for selection bias was high.
In this paper, we empirically evaluate and compare the performance of different options of age adjustment methods in situations when age-specific data are sparse.
The purpose of the simulation study is to quantify any bias in the methods in situations when one would expect the traditional non-parametric lifetable based methods to be biased, i.e. when there is variation in relative survival by age.
Although performing fiber-optic intubation under local anesthesia for achieving successful endotracheal intubation is one of the recommended methods in situations where airway management is difficult [ 32], the use of FOB is somewhat impractical in patients with maxillofacial trauma.
