Had we increased the number of tumour suppressor genes to be checked, which were frequently methylated in HCC tissue, it would have been more advantageous not only for determining clonality but also for assessing the malignant potential of the tumours.
First, the score test is computationally more advantageous because it only needs parameter estimates under the null whereas the Wald test needs parameter estimates under the alternative and the likelihood ratio test needs both.
Generally, in the scientific terminology it is more advantageous to use only one expression for one term.
In the long-term acute care of female patients reaching both energy and protein goals is more advantageous than reaching only the energy goal: in the latter case ICU mortality is not affected and the effect on 28-day mortality is less obvious, which suggests that the beneficial effect of also reaching the protein goal is especially important in the early phase of critical illness.
It seems more advantageous to simply reach people through channels they are familiar with and accustomed to using.
The intranasal route of vaccine application targeting nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue may be more advantageous for certain infections, but only if successful stimulation is achieved without the use of toxic adjuvants that might reach the central nervous system.
From the previous results, we may conclude that, overall, the proposed method has a better performance than the compared watermarking schemes ([13, 25]) and that the combination of the DWT and DCT domains is more advantageous than the use of only one frequency domain.
But by using activity monitors he shows that standing is only slightly more advantageous in terms of generating actual energy expenditure.
Measurement of AFP, PIVKAII, and GGTII may be more advantageous than the measurement of only a single marker.
Consequently, for occasionally used drugs, neither of the registers is more advantageous than the other as the only source of information for drug exposure, and for future studies, presumably the combined information will be the best estimate.
