The use of nationally representative survey data from NHIS represents a particular study strength, permitting generalization of findings to the entire U.S. population of children with ADHD.
This method took advantage of the paired nature of study participants and allowed appropriate handling of the association between couples, while also permitting generalization of subsequent inference to between-person differences in HIV-1 status.
As Bernays noted in Hilbert and Bernays 1934, the theorem permits generalizations in two directions: first, the class of theories to which the theorem applies can be broadened to a wider class of theories.
It is based on a large and representative sample of practicing physicians, which permits generalizations of the results to a nationwide basis.
This interpretation permits generalization of those results to cases that lie outside of the range of parameters considered in conventional mechanical design.
The main difficulty is represented by parameter identification: the experimental estimation is often made in isolated systems that, by definition, do not permit generalization to the real case.
Using mobile phones for data collection will for instance not be able to address issues such as household access, selecting an appropriate sample that permit generalization of findings, or the complexities of clustered sampling to reflect population statistics.
These facts permit generalization of the rules for the interactions of chemicals with phospholipids to the level of predictions of the kinetics and equilibria from the structure of chemicals.
Most of the research uses narrow samples that do not permit generalization to a larger population, do not consider differences in types of specialists or quality of care, do not consider the effects on health outcomes, use limited measures of access to care, and do little to help us understand why there are differences.
To further explore the statistical significance of the comparisons between conditions that would permit generalization of the effects to the population, analogous to random-effect analysis in fMRI (Friston et al., 1999), ROIs were chosen for the relevant areas on the cortical surface.
Finally, our sample was drawn in a manner that permits generalization, and tests have been conducted to ensure that the study sample does not diverge from the patient population on important characteristics such as gender and factors related to the hospital stay.
