Participants agreeing to take part in the study will be randomly allocated using minimisation to either the intervention group, receiving access to the Internet site, or the usual care group.
The present work applies the method of entropy generation minimisation to investigate the effects of reheating and intercooling on the optimal design and maximum net power output of an open recuperative solar thermal Brayton cycle.
In the first approach we conducted step-wise linear regression with AIC minimisation to identify the LiDAR derived variables with the most explanatory power.
According to Zelen's design (Zelen, 1979), the patients were prerandomised with minimisation to balance the prognostic factors in individual institutes, with regard to T – primary tumour (T0/1/2/3), N – nodal involvement (N0/1a/1b) and menopause (pre/post: if the menopausal state was unknown, patients over 50 were classified as menopause).
In this paper we present a dense visual odometry system for RGB-D cameras performing both photometric and geometric error minimisation to estimate the camera motion between frames.
Restricted randomisation (using stratification, pair matching, or minimisation) to limit the chance of baseline imbalances is therefore recommended.
Participants will be allocated to intervention or control in a 1 1 ratio, using minimisation to balance the numbers of participants allocated to each group.
The program will use minimisation to ensure balance between the groups with respect to hospital of recruitment, gestational age (< 29 completed weeks or ≥ 29 completed weeks) and type of Doppler abnormality (AREDFV or cerebral redistribution).
El-Deredy et al. used variational Bayes (variational free energy minimisation) to update β t, the values of the weights c ˆ u, t, c ˆ y, t and their precisions α u, t, α y, t on each trial.
A random element was included in the minimisation to allow a sound basis for inference.
