Even in temperate regions with well isolated winter peaks of influenza and RSV, concerns have been raised about the potential confounding effect of the co-circulation of other respiratory viruses on Serfling model derived estimates of influenza disease burden [2].
We obtained estimates of maximum canopy height from the best fit DBH-height equation [Equation 5.1; see Additional file 1: SI4 and Additional file 7: Figure S6], and combined this spatially with our correlation model derived estimates of WSG, the intercept of the power law relationship and gradient of the power law relationship.
Accordingly the model derives the estimate for the isolate by extrapolation.
We used measurements in four states to develop and validate the model and then used national household survey data in the model to derive estimates for the rest of the country.
Qatar (laboratory-confirmed) and US-based (model derived) studies estimated that 12 and 17%% (respectively) of GE ED visits were due to NoV among adults aged >60 years [ 45, 73].
Based on linearized PBR model we derive estimates of the resonance frequency, the frequency range where amplification takes place and the maximum amplification.
We implemented the recently developed DiffeRential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis (DREAM) algorithm to jointly summarize the posterior distribution of variogram parameters and the coefficients of a linear spatial model, and derive estimates of predictive uncertainty.
Mathematical models can derive estimates for the levels of drug stockpiles needed to buy time, how and when to modify vaccines, whom to target with vaccines and drugs, and when to enforce quarantine measures.
However, quantitative PET is challenged by the need for appropriate compartmental or kinetic models to derive estimates of such parameters from dynamic PET measurements of regional activity concentrations, which is difficult to achieve in a clinical setting.
Indeed, protein models derived by estimating the relative rates of amino-acid substitution in large protein databases consistently show dramatic differences in the relative replacement rates of different residues (e.g. [9] [11]).
