Fifth, the prior analysis utilized estimates for world market economies [5], while we used North American numbers.
Therefore we utilized estimated odds ratios in lieu of relative risk in the PAR calculation.
To evaluate the potential effect of arsenic exposure on white blood cell type proportions, we utilized estimated cell type fractions based on a validated subset of the methylation data, presented by quartiles of arsenic exposure in Table 4.
This paper provides a first attempt to quantify and at the same time utilize estimated measures of uncertainty for the design of robust interest rate rules.
Our conclusions should be valuable for reconciliation of data obtained in earlier studies as well as for future meta-analyses utilizing estimates from both traditional methods and the animal model.
By contrast, the RNAz [19] and sRNAPredict [15], [20] programs utilize estimated thermodynamic stability of conserved RNA structures and existing 'orphan' promoter and terminator annotations for sRNA predictions, respectively.
Their reliability measures, RΛ and RT, utilize estimated variances from a linear model to calculate reliability over the set of repeated measurements, conditional on the covariates.
The corresponding weight matrices are estimated, and utilized to estimate the underlying sources.
Only one paper [8] utilizes the order-α estimator that will be utilized to estimate all efficiency results in this paper.
In assessing response, the same radiologic modality (ie: CT or MRI) that was utilized to estimate extent of intrahepatic disease before chemotherapy will be utilized to estimate extent of disease after chemotherapy.
Therefore a global parameter estimation technique, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), was utilized to estimate the parameters of the model [ 35].
