We chose this comparison because the standard Cox model with fixed covariates is more widely used and because its comparison to the MSCM provides a direct estimate of the bias introduced by the time-dependent confounder which is more readily interpretable than the bias introduced by inappropriate adjustment (adjustment for a time-dependent intermediate variable that is affected by prior treatment).
22 It allows the derivation of a time ratio, which is more readily interpretable than a ratio of two hazards generated by other survival analysis approaches: a time ratio >1 for the covariate implies that it prolongs the time to the event, while a time ratio <1 indicates that an earlier event is more likely.
These five channel pairs are further analyzed due to the reason that for these channel pairs, the time-domain quantities are equivalent to that in the beta range and as pointed out earlier, the Geweke decomposition is more readily interpretable in the time domain.
The revised factor structure seems more readily interpretable for use in general practice.
Indicators or measures can be scientifically based but portray data about important parameters in ways that are more readily interpretable than the data themselves might be, particularly for policy and stakeholder audiences.
Although MS-HRM will often be sufficient to assess the methylation status of the CDKN2B gene, dMS-HRM will provide a more readily interpretable visualisation which may be quantified by scoring the individual peaks.
These customized polyproteins reduce heterogeneity, amplify interactions of less dominant modules, and most importantly, provide tags for atomic force microscopy and allow more readily interpretable data from single-molecule techniques.
Also, certain data were converted and scaled-up to provide more readily interpretable unit values (1 LTM = 0.1 ha).
We demonstrate many domain-specific examples to explain the expressivity of the matrix factorization framework and show how the appropriate use of domain-specific constraints such as non-negativity and sum-to-one abundance result in physically meaningful spectral decompositions that are more readily interpretable.
Transformations were assessed using the family of power transformations [28] (results not shown) with preference given to more readily interpretable scales of untransformed, square root, logarithmic, 1/square root and reciprocal.
An orthogonal (varimax) rotation was made to achieve a more readily interpretable factor structure.
