Sensitivity analysis entails varying the parameter values of key assumptions underlying the estimates to assess the robustness of the findings or conclusions.
Finally, as noted by a referee, certain constraints underlie the estimates of log odds ratios (11), which are reflected by the positivity of the probabilities in (10).
And economists have begun to question some of the assumptions underlying that estimate of a million new jobs.
The median rs from the 10,000 replicates reflects the correlation based on the median pairwise diversity and the confidence interval obtained from the distribution of the statistic for the resampled data reflects the underlying variance in the estimate of pairwise diversity.
Dose-response relationships were assessed by estimation of a trend underlying the summary effect estimates of the 25(OH D quintiles applying the best fitting equation of the form y=m x b (y, effect estimate; m, constant1, x=number of quintile (that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5), b=constant2).
This study delineated a novel approach to decode sensory information from neuronal population responses based on the extraction of local Fisher information (FI) representing the underlying variance estimate of the sensory input.
Stich et al. (2008) also proposed that the mixed model approach using a kinship matrix estimated by REML is better than marker-based kinship estimates underlying the studies of Yu et al. (2006).
All models and continuity corrections resulted in similar pooled estimates, underlying the robustness of the meta-analysis.
To the extent that the assumptions of the model are accurate, the estimate of underlying discriminability is also accurate.
