The effects of the structures were analyzed using the Quick Urban & Industrial Complex (QUIC) model, an empirically based diagnostic tool which simulates fine-scale wind field and dispersion patterns around obstacles.
Validation Methods and Establishment of Decision Tree Model Based on Four Diagnostic Methods' Information.
We evaluated each time series independently and chose the most appropriate model based on three diagnostic criteria: independent residuals, stationary time series and the Ljung-Box test.
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression of estimated district-level HIV prevalence for 2010 produced four models and we chose Model 4 as the "best" model based on collinearity diagnostics and explanatory power [see Table 2].
Moreover, a corrective spatial lag model of HIV prevalence using standardized variables in the "best" OLS model based on spatial diagnostics was performed within the GEODA spatial statistical software [ 53, 57].
For the diagnostic model based on the lipid triplet, the optimal cut-off (0.463) resulted in a diagnostic test with a sensitivity of 69.5% and specificity of 78.6%, 72.4% positive predictive value (PPV), and 76.2% negative predictive value (NPV).
A diagnostic model based on expression levels of ten miRNAs is constructed in the discovery set.
To evaluate the performance of a diagnostic model based on a composite index using clinical and laboratory data, including cardiovascular biomarkers, to help practitioners to differentiate patients with simple steatosis from those with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The diagnostic model based on the laboratory parameters, using the combined predictors of PCT, CRP and WBC, can be a useful means for predicting early onset of sepsis.
