A prevailing statistical theory for the sampling errors in point measurement is re-examined; it is shown that in actuality this theory applies to a measurement procedure that involves placing the points at random on the surface, but not to the more conventional procedure where the points are arranged in a regular array.
Bias-adjusted 95% confidence intervals are estimated from 200 bootstrap samples of 200,000 births each, which are randomly generated from the entire birth cohort (as opposed to the more conventional procedure of re-sampling with replacement from the original sample a sample the same size as the original sample).
The a priori inclusion criteria were all randomised and non-randomised studies that compared total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty done by a minimally invasive approach or a computer assisted navigation system with one or more conventional procedures.
Compared to the more conventional procedures for aphasia treatment in the chronic stage, the present training involved an intense use of language capabilities and a restraining of alternative, non-verbal methods of communication.
There are narrowly prescribed conditions under which a judge can approve a wiretap application, including the requirement that the government demonstrate that other, more conventional investigative procedures, like interviewing witnesses and reviewing documents, have been tried and failed.
This more conventional gas-phase procedure was carried out at 215°C (1°C/min), under a 30 ml/min hydrogen flux, for 5 h.
In this randomized and controlled trial, we found that upper GI endoscopy after 2 hours fasting for clear liquids was more comfortable than the conventional procedure, particularly in terms of hunger, weakness, anxiety and general discomfort.
This method is of low cost and avoids dependency on the availability of restriction enzyme sites in the DNA sequence, as needed in more conventional restriction/ligation-based cloning procedures.
The American Heart Association says that hands-only CPR can be a simpler, more comfortable alternative to the conventional procedure, which involves hand compression and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
It yields more accurate estimates than the conventional procedure, does not require trial-and-error specification of relative goal weights, and is less sensitive to under- or over-parameterization of the estimator.
While testing for cointegration is a common procedure, the more conventional cointegration methods are rather restrictive as they require all of the price series to be I(1) non-stationary processes.
