Some are simplifying diagnosis, skipping some tests that are currently standard, but still doing enough to tell, for most patients, which treatment would be best.Others are cutting spending on equipment.
The simplifying arguments that are used are tested numerically on prefractal models of the geometrical irregularity.
Those measures include simplifying applications for coverage, eliminating asset tests that sometimes intimidate eligible families, requiring states to change their minimum eligibility periods to a year from six months, and allowing families to apply by mail instead of in person.
For the iHS test, we make the simplifying assumption that each gene is contained in a single 100 Kb region.
As we had no a priori expectation about which variables influence each factor (i.e. model structure), we tested all models starting by simplifying recapture probability, then survival probability, and finally emigration probability.
That paring back on crash tests — along with skimping on frills, simplifying designs, using less expensive materials and, in a departure for the industry, outsourcing most design and engineering work — is having a profound effect on the cost bases of China's dozens of carmakers.
We also made the simplifying assumption that the scores of the screening tests followed a bivariate normal distribution.
However, the MK test depends on a number of simplifying assumptions, and it may give erroneous conclusions when these assumptions are not satisfied (Nei et al. 2010).
