Some Practical Considerations in Designing a Programme of Field Trials

A notable feature of the agricultural policy of the South African Sugar Industry is that much of our plantation practice still derives from the arbitrary ordinance of tradition or custom, casual observation, and so-called experience. Sugar cane cultivation is an occupation requiring, for its success, the utmost precision both in conception and performance; and further that precision necessitate...

Practical Considerations in Designing Distributed Real-Time Systems: A Case Study on an FIP-based System

In this paper we describe our case study of designing an FIP-based distributed numerical control system, focusing on practically validating the end-to-enddesign methodology that we have developed in [10, 11]. The design methodology was used to automatically derive task attributes such as periods, deadlines, and phases, from the high-level design of the numerical control system. Since the design...

Practical considerations for sensitivity analysis after multiple imputation applied to epidemiological studies with incomplete data

BACKGROUND Multiple Imputation as usually implemented assumes that data are Missing At Random (MAR), meaning that the underlying missing data mechanism, given the observed data, is independent of the unobserved data. To explore the sensitivity of the inferences to departures from the MAR assumption, we applied the method proposed by Carpenter et al. (2007).This approach aims to approximate infe...
