We estimated the uncertainty around the cost-effectiveness estimates using bootstrap, which meant the observed sample was treated as a proxy for the population of community-dwelling older adults and resampled (4000 times) from that sample to estimate empirically the distribution around the means.
The Alberta insurance registry is nearly complete and consistent, and is used as a proxy for the population of Alberta.
Therefore, we used body size measurements as a proxy for the population size of asexuals.

Assuming that the predicted NRT thresholds, calculated as a residual value of multivariate analysis, reflect indirectly the excitability level of the remaining auditory nerve fibers, one should expect that those values are a proxy of the functional auditory neuron population in the spiral ganglion neuron of implanted patients [ 4].
The intent is to carry out a proxy of a population representative survey by measuring radon concentration in the homes of a random sample of the company employees.
The analysis of the temporal variability in the number of small and large individuals in landings can be used as a proxy to assess the population structure of Aristeus antennatus and additionally provide information on the inter-annual variability of the individual recruitment to fisheries.
