A series of trials, modelled on the army bursary scheme, will be established as the first step towards rolling out a national scheme to provide £15,000 towards the university costs of the brightest physics and maths undergraduates if they agree to serve as teachers for at least three years.
A stick function regressor for button presses across all trials modeled variance due to target detection and associated motor responses.
Cholesky decomposition was used to decompose the (co variance of the two Intercept factors, with the Intercept factor for positive trials modeled as first factor.
We conducted a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, modeled on standard antimalarial drug efficacy trials, to evaluate three regimens available for IPT in Ugandan schoolchildren: SP, amodiaquine combined with SP (AQ+SP), and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP).
CATCHUP trial modeled age, history of difficulty breathing, duration of illness, and respiratory rate.
After restriction to contemporary trials, model fit remained adequate (see supplementary table 8) and heterogeneity between trials low for all outcomes (see supplementary table 9).
When all studies are two arm trials, models for network meta-analysis can be expressed as standard univariate meta-regressions [ 38].
We compared the amount of food consumed by DIS and ADV birds both during trials (Model 4) and in total (Model 3) since treatment could potentially influence sensitivity to food deprivation which preceded the trials as well as overall hyperphagia.
Multi-arm trials necessitate modelling of correlations between treatment comparisons with a common comparator.
When selection of trials was modeled by trial size and intensity of treatment, the most powerful test was the arcsine test.
The magnitude of the N leaching reduction from mitigation strategies was predicted in pre-trial modelling.
