In order to better assess the contribution of the regression coefficients to the model outcome the absolute value of the coefficients was taken for each time point and the mean plotted for each phosphoprotein in descending order.
Consistency between model projections and empiric data was assessed by visually comparing the average model outcomes with the means and the 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the empiric survival data.
In particular, the comparison between the model outcomes and the data reveals that in periods of rapid changes in aggregate hours worked, the model systematically underestimates the magnitude of such changes.
Currency fluctuations would affect both the model outcomes and the thresholds and therefore should not affect our results.
The RFS and OS data for the different strategies at 3 years and 5 years varied from −5.9%to2.1%1% between the model outcomes and the trial data (Table 3).
The model outcomes represent the expected or 'true' propensity of institutional delivery for a birth, net of the shared propensity of villagers to follow their neighbours' behaviour.
Results section: 5) It would be good to have confidence intervals for the model outcomes for the high incidence scenario (global validation).
To address uncertainty in the evaluation, a PSA was performed to quantify the uncertainty in the model outcomes based on the uncertainty of the input parameters.
For validation of the model, available data on the variables above were used to compare model outcomes with the historic evolution of drug spending in England and Germany.
