Given a current (Bayesian) probability estimate P of one treatment being better than the other, he suggested that it might be a good idea to adjust the proportions of future test subjects that take the two drugs to the respective probabilities P and 1-P.
Hereditary behavioral traits of individuals that help them to increase the proportion of their offspring in future generations will thus be "selected for," i.e., become more common; this process results in evolution.
When released into the wild, researchers believe the modified insects will breed with normal mosquitoes and pass the anti-malarial genes on to their young, making an ever-increasing proportion of future generations resistant to the malaria parasite.
We should then allow a personal account option for younger workers for this portion of the payroll tax, with the accounts taking responsibility for paying an equivalent proportion of future Social Security benefits.
(Even with a trajectory, however, there's still some uncertainty around the resulting concentration, because we don't know exactly what proportion of future emissions will be absorbed by the sea or land, as opposed to remaining in the atmosphere where they cause warming).
The proportion of area potentially affected by future climate change in each ecoregion was used to develop a measure of an ecoregion's ecological stability under climate change.
The second simulation was to estimate the number of physicians in each medical specialty using each of the three following assumptions regarding the proportion of female physicians: 1) the future percentage of new female physicians remains at the 2006 survey level (32.8%); 2) it increases to 40% in 10 years; and 3) it increases to 50% in 10 years.
The tendency of a higher average age of prostate cancer patients and a higher average age of death will continue in the future; the proportion of mortality and morbidity costs in the COI of prostate cancer will remain low compared with that for other cancers.
The response rate we found was lower than in the initial phase 2 studies of this combination [ 7, 8] but nevertheless compatible with a positive interpretation, given that in the near future the proportion of metastatic breast cancer patients who are eligible for a treatment with trastuzumab, but have already received taxanes as adjuvant, will increase.
We are also able to predict a significant proportion of future nomination edges using information from the behavioral layers; about 70 80% of edges are predicted with a reasonable accuracy.
