Meta-regression can be applied to within-wedge analysis outcomes to identify situations that may make stepped-wedge designs more or less prone to bias.
To investigate this question, we considered the distribution of subsources among the various layers of the velocity structure model; that is, we determined which of them were within each of the mantle wedge, lower crust, upper crust, and seismic basement layers of the model.
We recommend that the within-wedge analysis reported as a secondary analysis from stepped-wedge designs in future.
This paper discusses the potential sources of bias relevant to these designs, examines how empirical evidence of bias has previously been generated, and then outlines the "within-wedge" analysis approach - a new method for generating evidence of potential bias in the stepped-wedge design.
The within-wedge analysis approach has an advantage over approach i) in that many study characteristics are held constant, and an advantage over approach ii) in that this approach can be applied to individual studies (and to multiple outcomes within individual studies).
Rock burst happens within the wedge separated by the shear bands from the native tunnel rock.
Lenses comprising chaotic, high amplitude reflector packages are common within the wedge and are interpreted as laterally discontinuous slump masses.
We report on recent research into ground ice formation, including ice segregation within bedrock and vein ice formation within ice wedge systems.
The experimental data were simulated using SEAWAT, and the model was used to further investigate the saltwater flow and transport dynamics within a wedge.
On the 391-yard first hole, she flew the fairway bunkers that her playing partners avoided, putting her ball 80 yards beyond theirs and within a wedge to the green.
This study elucidates a three-phase development of the LAR wedge in Utah Colorado using detailed analysis of the twenty-four lithofandestackingtacking patterns of parasequences, and 4th- and 5th-order depositional sequences within the wedge.
