In addition, many of the ad hoc decisions identified in this study dealt with a different kind of follow-up data needed for statistics or research.
Respondents identified a broad need for national statistics, a dimension covering a range of parallel issues, including the need for benchmarking, national registries, epidemiological statistics, and capacity for information technology and data management.
One essential element is missing from your June 3 editorial "Measuring the Progress of Women": the need for accurate statistics.
Speaking after a series of controversial civilian deaths at the hands of police prompted ongoing protests across the country, Holder said all participants in the debate over the future of law enforcement should be able to agree on the need for reliable statistics.
There is one thing worth to mention: it is a trade-off between the need for sufficient statistics and the precision of manipulation detection.
Similarly to the RLS principle, authors in [20, 21] propose a recursive MMSE method that does not require an a priori need for channel statistics.
So, to alleviate these complexities, researchers in the past either used some strong assumptions, for example Gaussian assumption for interference in MIMO system [17], or suboptimal approaches to detect the subscriber without involving the need for MAI statistics such as in SIC [18] and PIC [19].
Since the statistical analysis of MAI in MIMO-CDMA systems is quite involved, especially when these systems are fading, existing works in the literature, such as successive interference cancellation (SIC) or parallel interference cancellation (PIC), employ suboptimal approaches to detect the subscriber without involving the need for MAI statistics.
The sample size was calculated based on a need for sufficient statistics to undertake some subgroup analysis, for example by age group or region, for both new and returning patients.
Developing guidelines at the national level was a major dimension of the developing evidence theme and is related to both the need for national statistics and the coordination of practitioners, researchers, advocates and policymakers.
