However, analyses performed with the incomplete baseline data, where each tributary population was in turn removed from the baseline data revealed a potential source of error.
We found that mean WTP significantly increases and that the demand curve is shifted upward as the scope of the BHI increases, i.e. as either the reimbursement ceiling, the deductible or the coinsurance are removed from the baseline BHI.
Non-significant fixed effect parameters were sequentially removed from the baseline model based on log-likelihood tests of maximum likelihood models according to the recommended procedure of Zuur et al. (2009).
In calculating incidence rates, we confined the numerator data to first-ever events; accordingly, the contribution of individuals with any preexisting alcohol-related morbidities in each sociodemographic group was removed from the baseline count and associated person-time-at-risk.
If pre-exposure risk periods are not removed from the baseline unexposed time, then the relative risk will be biased towards the null[ 6], as the risk in the unexposed period would be inflated.
Application of a high-pass digital filter removed complications from baseline drift but still retained the multiple pulse ringing artifacts.
GeneClass employs the Rannala and Mountain (1997) algorithm in a 'leave one out' protocol and calculates the likelihood that an individual fish originated in the subpopulation in the tributary where it was sampled (home collection) based on the genotype of the fish and allele frequencies in the baseline collections, with the fish in question removed from its home collection in the baseline.
Inorganic elemental analyses were carried out using the Hitachi Model 306 Super Scan ICP Emission Analysis System for the foulants removed from the first trial of baseline study, whereas foulants from the rest of membranes were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique using JEOL JSX-3400II energy dispersive an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.
From all enrolled household contacts with baseline clinical, HIV, and TST evaluation, individuals with TB at baseline or who developed TB at any point during the two year follow-up, individuals in whom HIV testing was positive or not performed, and individuals without immunologic data at baseline were removed from the analysis, as shown in Figure 1.
