This suggests that the UKCAT provides a reasonable proxy for A levels in this group of applicants, but not a major advantage in terms of selecting applicants who are not reaching their potential at school.
The E.P.A. mileage rating is 20 m.p.g. in town and 26 on the highway, reasonable numbers for a vehicle with this level of performance.
Via isn't ready to talk about the licensing costs at this time, but Ross told me that Via will offer a "very reasonable rate for the level of IP available through the pool".
However, previous evidence suggests that IGF levels are relatively stable over time in adults, such that a single measurement is a reasonable proxy for levels of long-term exposure (Goodman-Gruen and Barrett-Connor, 1997; Chan et al, 1998; Platz et al, 1999).
Though perhaps not ideal, these measures have been shown to be reasonable proxies for individual-level SES and have the advantage of serving as indicators of the social and economic contexts in which children live but without introducing ecological fallacy [36].
However, it does provide a reasonable proxy for A levels in the selection process.
We found a significant correlation between A level and UKCAT scores, which confirms that the UKCAT can be used as a reasonable proxy for A levels in the selection process.
The degree to which the proposed exposure hypotheses result in reasonable predictions for BPb levels can be examined with the U.S. EPA's Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model for Lead in Children (IEUBK) (U.S. EPA 1994).
In the case of a drug treatment, we believe our assumption is a reasonable approximation for the levels in the blood when the prodrug is administered intravenously over a relatively long period (e.g. hours).
Despite that the random-effects centre-level model may be a reasonable alternative for patient-level models when the number of patients per centre is large (≥30), centre-level models cannot adjust for patient-level covariates, a potential fatal drawback in the presence of patient prognostic imbalance.
