In order to minimize expectation bias, participants are informed only that we are testing two different physical activity interventions (pedometer intervention versus pedometer plus mobile phone application intervention).
The study design reflected the early non-response paradigm and included blinded re-randomization of early non-responders, as well as an effort to minimize expectation bias and enhance signal detection by the inclusion of a placebo control.
Moreover, participants will be told that the program aims to 'help them to better deal with difficult situations', without mentioning the specific effects expected on the outcome variables, thereby minimizing expectation effects.
To minimize the expectations of the participants, the first part began at one starting position, while the second part began at another starting position.
He revealed Maryada Ramanna's plot before its launch in order to minimize the expectations of his audience after Magadheera's success.
The control filter in the IMC controller was a digital FIR device designed to minimize the expectation of the mean square tracking error.
The goal is to jointly design a deterministic switching sequence and a continuous feedback law to minimize the expectation of a finite-horizon quadratic cost function.
The dispatch objectives are formulated to not only minimize the expectation of fuel costs and the deviation of the fuel cost distribution, but also to maximize wind power penetration while also considering variations in wind speed and distributed loads.
Finally, the time synchronization is fine tuned by means of a specific metric in the frequency domain that allows us to minimize the expectation of the transmission error function over all channel estimate errors.
