Yet, such information is required for effective resource allocation, checking underlying program assumptions, understanding benefits and potential harms.
The facility simulation results are automatically plotted in a graphic format for comparative evaluation of any series of production program assumptions that the operators consider in the design process.
Those program assumptions are linked to a series of other spreadsheets within the spreadsheet workbook that calculate weekly model simulation results for rearing space, first-pass and rearing flows, feed consumption, and phosphorus discharge for each group of fish and then for the combined results of the entire facility.
It can be used to decide which program areas need to be studied systematically to gain information about whether the program assumptions are correct.
A two-year serviceable life for the current LLIN intervention in Benin would be a more realistic program assumption.
The program assumption is that deploying iCCM-trained CHWs who are appropriately trained, supplied, and supervised, and at sufficient density in populations without access to fixed health facilities will improve access to appropriate treatment, will be used by the population, and will reduce child mortality from childhood pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria.
Theories of program reflect assumptions on how to conceptualize an intervention program for evaluation purposes, while theories of evaluation reflect assumptions on how to design useful evaluation.
The extent to which teachers' teaching styles corresponded with the program's assumptions also played an important role.
The program adopts assumptions that both vehicles on the road and packet generation interval are exponentially distributed.
Using Epi Info Statcalc program the assumptions made for the sample size calculation were: a single population proportion formula with a 95%% confidence interval, a proportion of 50%% and worst acceptable value 53.5%% (i.e. 3.5 % margin of error).
