In Moneyball, Lewis breaks down how – at the start of the 21st century – Beane and other statistical analysts at his club found disproportionate success by finding inefficiencies in the market for players (ie, using different measurements of what made a player valuable).
However, previous CIMT studies may have used different measurements of LDL-C.
First, to investigate the relation between calcium and gastrointestinal cancer, we used different measurements of calcium in age-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models (Table 3).
Furthermore, different studies also used different measurements of incidence and prevalence; i.e., some investigators focused on lifetime use, others reviewed the previous 12-month history only, yet others limited their findings to BBT use in the 14 days prior to the investigation.
As such the trend analysis is not significantly affected by the use of different measurements of unmet need.
Only a small number of previous studies have examined the association between level of adiposity and depression and, to our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the whole range of adiposity (from underweight to class III obesity), not rely on self-reported adiposity and use four different measurements of adiposity.
Using the different measurements of crime rates can improve the robustness of our criminological analyses.
The down-hole profiles of gas hydrate saturation (S h) from resistivity at site NGHP-01-05 NGHP-01-05 NGHP-01-05 diffestimatedsusingnthree porosity are shown in Fig. 7b.
We used two different measurements of PM-induced oxidative stress: OH formation in an oxidant environment (in the presence of H2O2) and antioxidant depletion in a synthetic RTLF, reflecting the normal reducing environment at the air lung interface.
The results have shown that the differences obtained when using different measurement techniques and equipment are not of significant importance.
