All the semantics are presented in a uniform fixpoint form and the correspondences between these semantics are established through composable Galois connections, each semantics being formally calculated by abstract interpretation of a more concrete one using Kleene and/or Tarski fixpoint approximation transfer theorems.
Use of subjective fever in the case definition may lack specificity, and has been avoided in some studies[6], but the specificity of this endpoint has not been formally calculated.
For this reason, no definite sample size could be formally calculated to establish a power analysis.
Cardiac output could not be formally calculated, as outflow tract (OFT) diameter could not be directly measured by echocardiography.
A general column of Jacobian matrix of QNU (10) that corresponds to a general weight w i, j is N × 1 vector denoted as j i, j and it is written as follows: (14) j i, j = x i 1 x j 1 x i 2 x j 2 ⋮ x i N x j N. Then a single-weight increment is formally calculated according to original L-M formula (5) and because the term j i, j T × j i, j results in a scalar, we can use formula (9).
Measurements were done by a single individual and although intraobserver variability was not formally calculated, we do not think that our results are likely to be driven by information bias because we performed repeated measures and reliability checks on the variables.
Sample size was not formally calculated, but sampling decisions were made concurrently with the data analysis and continued until no new concepts arose during the data analysis.
Sample size was not formally calculated; the goal of implementing the evaluation process was not to achieve saturation or generalization but rather to learn from individuals who had participated in the budgeting process, and test the functionality of the evaluation process in a real-world setting.
Sample size was not formally calculated for any of the three studies since our goal was not to generate generalizable conclusions, but instead to describe characteristics of successful priority setting from the point of view of decision makers.
Inter-rater reliability was not formally calculated.
