These 'most likely' representations maximise the posterior or conditional density p (θ | y ) of the causes of sensory data y.
All cases with the variable pregnant were selected from the causes of death data sets and new files were created and merged to form one file.
In other words, the assessment survey contextualized the DQA findings by uncovering field implementation dynamics which indicate the root causes of data quality weaknesses or strengths.
However, research and policy development should optimize scientific progress by identifying and combating the remediable causes of data withholding (such as those due to a lack of funds).
