In particular, with the PMA-based approach the point of probabilities crossing was between $60,000/QALY and $65,000/QALY, whereas the point of crossing with the NMA-based approach was between $85,000/QALY and $90,000/QALY.
The fundamental observation is that the range of E f 1 ( h, p ( h ) ) is convex if the probability distribution of the channel h contains no points of positive probability (Section "Duality in wireless systems optimization").
Using the rounded weights in the risk function, we estimated the participant-specific probabilities of chlamydia positivity and characterised the degrees of risk based on cut-off points of the probability distribution.
Using the rounded weights in the risk function, we estimated the participant-specific" probabilities of HCV seropositivity and characterized the "degrees of risk based on cut-off points of the probability distribution"'.
The condition on the channel distribution not having points of positive probability is a mild requirement satisfied by practical fading channel models including Rayleigh, Rice, and Nakagami.
This follows from the fact that the channel distribution contains no points of positive probability combined with the requirement that the resource allocation values p(h) belong to the bounded sets P ( h ).
A rule to characterize different degrees of risk based on cut- off points of the probability distribution was then established.
We also assessed the diagnostic features and characterized "different degrees of risk based on cut-off points of the probability distribution"'.
The population analysis began with a uniform prior distribution spread over 40009 grid points of equal probability between stated initial ranges for each parameter.
Classification ability of the model was estimated using different cut-off points of the probability of the outcome and the areas under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC).
