The estimated deprivation gap and corresponding CIs were calculated using the modelled EASR for the most deprived minus the modelled EASR for least-deprived category (National Cancer Intelligence Network, 2011).
Secondly, using the modelled-PCM concentrations lead to improved spatial prediction, as a model containing the modelled-PCM concentrations surpassed the model without the modelled-PCM concentrations, with RMSPEs of 0.257 and 0.276 respectively, which is an increase of 7%.
The modelled distribution of SDTF based on one of the 10 runs using 30% of specimens for testing showed highly similar distribution of the biome across South America compared to the most recent schematic map of the biome.
Using MaxEnt 3.3.3 k [ 22, 79] we created response curves for these six ecological variables, performed jackknife tests to measure the importance of individual environmental variables in explaining the modelled distribution of each morphotype, and estimated potential niches per morphotype.
We used both the observed data and the modelled distributions, and only small differences were seen, thus supporting the notion that the log-normal exposure distribution has an appropriate fit.
Table 1 presents the modelled distributions, point estimates and SDs for the key model parameters.
Adjustment for this bias is obtained in the modelled distributions, which tended to show slightly greater benefits.
Figure 1 plots the change in log rate ratio associated with the 30 day lag period for both AP and CDP as modelled using the quadratic lag distribution model.
The theoretical tensile strengths for composites from 20 to 50% w/w LCN content were modelled using the fibre distribution of the 30% composite material and compared with the experimental results.
Rate variation among branches was modelled using the uncorrelated lognormal distribution (UCLD) model.
