All four algorithms work based on relative distances, so they can easily be extended to multi-dimensional dissimilarity.
The resulting estimated HCV prevalence overall and among subgroups is based on the average characteristics of the sample, and therefore the emphasis of this work is on relative changes in HCV risk over time, which we feel are more readily interpretable and the appropriate focus of routine surveillance.
While the main focus was of our work was on relative inequalities, we examined trends over time in the absolute levels of socioeconomic patterning of amenable mortality by reviewing the numbers of deaths, evaluating changes in the age-standardised amenable mortality rate and calculating the reduction in the average amenable mortality rate by income quintile.
Experimental work on the relative stabilities of metamorphic minerals and assemblages has permitted correlation of the empirically derived facies with quantitative pressure and temperature conditions.
This study complements previous work on the relative power of parametric and non-parametric statistics by examining the common situation where an outcome is measured before and after a randomly assigned treatment.
Since he cannot precisely hit a button on a touch screen, Mr. Raman created a dialer that works based on relative positions.
Using data from geochemistry, astrophysics, and nuclear physics, he worked on an estimate of the relative cosmic abundances of the elements and attempted to find a relationship between the stability of the different isotopes and their occurrence in the universe.
In this work, we report on relative nuclear abundance measurements in different regions of the orbit for nuclei from B to Fe in the energy range above ≃60 MeV/n.
The fact that Romney viewed working on a relative's political campaign as the patriotic equivalent of battlefield service revealed just how tone-deaf many in America's upper classes have become.
That it can be worked on in relative isolation.
