Since we do not have the ideal conditions in the experiments cited before [ 9, 11, 22], we will use the earliest data post-inoculation available in the experimental data in Ref. [ 11] to minimize the effect of reproduction and thus obtain the best possible estimation for k1.
Since the present study involved a small number of subjects, we used the earlier data to estimate the threshold for low serum amylase.
In the current study, researchers used the earlier data to evaluate the strength of the association between IQ and blood lead at various ages, and whether blood lead at age 2 years affected IQ at ages 5 and 7 more than blood lead measured at the older ages.
These residuals suggest that it is difficult to predict the spatiotemporal evolution of afterslip by our simple model using the early postseismic data (the first 3 months in this case).
Following the earliest studies in Mexico [8], [28], the estimation of R was conducted using the early epidemic growth data in different locations across the world (yielding published estimates in 2009 [29] [38], some reassessed [39]).
A comparison of the MDRD and CKD-EPI equations using the earlier NHANES 1999 2006 data (n=16,032) led to a downward revision of CKD prevalence from 13.1% to 11.5% [ 26].
To reduce causality problems, we use the earliest available data, which in general are around the mid-1990s.
Unfortunately, regional statistics for late 1980s and early 1990s are not available for many indicators; I use the earliest available data.
This makes it difficult to predict the spatiotemporal evolution of afterslip using only the early data and the assumptions of the simple model used here.
We estimated the reproductive number on our data using the early epidemic growth rate (fitted on incidence data from one week before to two weeks after the epidemic onset, using the method described in [ 45], with a generation time of 2.6 days and a ratio of infectious period to the generation time of 0.61).
