There can be a multiplicity of objectives that may be revised or evolve over time in a long-term DM project.
Subjects with antibody response≥the assay cut-off were considered protected against Hib-disease, diphtheria, tetanus or hepatitis B. To cope with the multiplicity of study objectives, the pre-set criteria for meeting the study objectives were assessed sequentially.
It argues that such mechanisms labour under three specific difficulties: a proliferation of operational forms, a multiplicity of underlying objectives, and the irreducible uncertainty arising from the counterfactual nature of the baseline.
Multiplicity of economic and noneconomic objectives without proper identification of the trade-offs among these different objectives.
An additional complicating factor is that in almost any policy problem, a multiplicity of divergent and potentially conflicting objectives has to be considered.
In this section, our objective is to establish existence and multiplicity of positive solution to the BVP (1.5).
Objectives To examine the extent of multiplicity of data in trial reports and to assess the impact of multiplicity on meta-analysis results.
Finally, in exploratory studies such as this, in which data are collected with an objective but not with a prespecified hypothesis, multiplicity of data, hypotheses, and analyses can result in errors of inference, requiring the use of multiplicity corrections.
As the study was not powered to evaluate the exploratory objectives and there was no adjustment for multiplicity of endpoints, the relevance of potential statistically significant differences is not clear.
Beyond the immediate goal of filling a labor market "gap", temporary labor migration schemes can be seen to serve a multiplicity of policy goals, including development, foreign policy, public diplomacy and trade objectives.
