The system parameter incentives on a national level and as such as a country characteristic may have an important influence relative to practice size as a practice characteristic.
We also used Kendall's Tau to calculate the discordance of ranks under case-mix adjustment, d, where d (d=(1−τ)/2 ), represents the probability that the higher rank of a given practice relative to another practice becomes the lower rank relative to the same practice after case-mix adjustment (or vice versa).
However, a recursive enveloping module can be created that stratifies the schools into numerous levels, or groupings, of relative best-practice frontiers, rather than the single DEA frontier.
The advantage of this relative, selective practice is that frozen samples are stored from each brain donated.
