To test whether our weighting choice had any effect on the data we conducted a post-hoc sensitivity analysis reweighting our chosen CONSORT items equally for each of the 5 sections of items, rather than each item.
Induction therapy differed in terms of the AmB dose (0.7 or 1 mg/kg/day, dosed according to actual body weight), choice of second and/or third drug, and adjunctive gamma interferon.
If you know one of your relatives will go on a long rant about another's weight, choice of partner, or parenting decisions, speak to them ahead of time and ask them in a polite, but firm way to refrain from staging an "intervention" over a dinner you are working hard to prepare.
The program now incorporates new variable weighting choices which can greatly minimize such bias.
The offshore data are difficult to fit because they are biased by spatial sparseness, even for our weighting choices, and may include preseismic and postseismic deformation (Sato et al. 2011).
We discuss the simultaneous determination of ms and Vus from flavor-breaking hadronic τ decay sum rules, focussing on weight choices designed to better control problems associated with the slow convergence of the relevant integrated D= 2 OPE series.
Alternate weight choices designed to bring this convergence under better control are shown to produce significantly improved stability, and determinations of |Vus| which are both mutually compatible, and consistent, within errors, with values obtained by other methods.
We tested a sizable sample of images using various weight combinations and observed an influence of weight choices on segmentation performance (Fig. 2).
For all images from the same species θ, their sets of weight combinations identified in step 2 were joined, and the most frequently occurring combinations were considered candidates for the most-suitable weight choices.
We also found that our elaborate method of establishing weights through choice experiments provided weights that were very different from those obtained with a simple ranking exercise.
