The performance of the other estimators is for the most part consistent with their performance with the corresponding single classification rules assessed in other studies, with the best performance being provided by the bolstered error estimators, in terms of root mean square error.
Despite several efforts to develop widely acceptable accounting rules, assessing the mitigation outcomes in extant forests has always been a controversial topic during climate negotiations, affecting adversely the credibility of the forest sink mitigation and its comparability with other GHG sectors [13 16].
The resection margins were evaluated according to the Western rules assessing the circumferential resection margins (Hermanek, 1995).
All family environmental variables were assessed by single items, with the exception of parental rules (assessed by three items) by means of a 5-point Likert scale.
In the green swordtail, females show preference for the rare-male phenotype, a decision rule that may favour the maintenance of genetic variation, whereas in the fiddler crab, females seem to use a combination of absolute and comparative rules, assessing male traits differently when presented with prospective mates that vary in multiple traits.
For example, the positive likelihood ratios of the Ottawa Knee and Ankle rules assessing the necessity of a roentgenographic evaluation in cases of acute knee and ankle injuries respectively are both inferior to the one reported by our PA [ 32, 33].
The extent of medical-technical progress is as a rule assessed by the proportion of the total volume of sales accounted for by new or improved products and techniques, R&D expenditure or the number of patent applications.
Ultrasound scan 'Simple Rules' use 10 rules to assess adnexal tumours.
In another work, Knodel and Popescu [19] compared reflexion models and two other techniques (relation conformance rules, and component access rules) to assess their applicability on architectural conformance.
