Exercise tests were performed as a bicycle test, in accordance with national guidelines; a complete description of the exercise test procedure and classification has been published elsewhere [ 8, 30- 32].
In addition, the standardised behavioural mapping procedure and classification of physical activity employed in the current study have previously been used in a number of previous studies of early physical activity [ 8, 9, 11].
Firstly, variations in data collection procedures and classification systems between countries limits comparability and prevents synthesis of the post discharge surveillance data.
The process of developing the ONJ database study, including the setup, and developing the registration forms and the subsequent communication to the clinics have led to a better understanding of diagnostic procedures and classification of ONJ in the three countries.
the simultaneous application of boosted LBP features, a bootstrapping procedure and sequential classification of race after the classification of gender lead to an increase in the accuracy of race classification by (sim )15% in comparison to the basic method.
AD trees were repeatedly generated and tested using the leave-one-out cross validation procedure and the classification accuracy was defined as the percentage of correctly classified test samples.
In the procedure, several factors may influence the validity and reliability of verbal autopsies; such as the 'true' underlying distribution of cause of death in the population, the age and sex of the deceased, quality and standardization of verbal autopsy tool (verbal autopsy questionnaire, diagnostic procedure and mortality classification) and the data collection process [ 6, 9].
The implemented algorithms include spatial transformations, real-space and Fourier operations, as well as pattern recognition procedures, reconstruction algorithms and classification procedures.
Third, WTO rules govern customs procedures, including valuation and classification issues, to prevent these procedures from being used as a disguised means of protection.
It relies on output harmonised national surveys: target variables are produced according to country-specific requirements, but common guidelines, procedures, concepts, and classifications are adopted to maximise comparability (European Commission 2003).
They are a standard method of analysing clinical procedures and thereby classification of hospital activity HRGs are reviewed every four years to ensure they accurately reflect clinical practice.
