The GEE analyses are reported in Table4 and the random-effects models in Table 5. For GEE, a working exchangeable correlation matrix is considered.... In PAGE 19: ... The advantage of having separate treatment effects at each time is that particular attention can be given at the treatment effect assessment at the last planned measurement occasion, that is, after one year. From Table4 it is clear that the model-based and empirically corrected standard errors agree extremely well. This is due to the unstructured nature of the full time by treatment mean structure.... In PAGE 20: ... The results for the random-effects models are given in Table 5. We observe the usual relationship between the marginal parameters of Table4 and their random-effects counterparts. Note also that the random-intercepts variance is largest under LOCF, underscoring again that this method artificially increases the association between mea- surements on the same subject.... ..."

Example values are shown in Table1 . The components of the trans- lation vector with respect to the robot apos;s coordinate system are given by x, y, and z.... In PAGE 6: ... The absolute error is the translation distance required to put the robot hand into a pre-grasp position after the poses were computed and the robot arm moved. Table1 shows that as the size of the absolute trans- lation required to achieve the pre-grasp position gets smaller, the absolute error also gets smaller. Table 1.... ..."

First, following the literature discussed above we analyse the optimal Taylor rule if we take into account the estimated variance-covariance matrix of the parameter estimates as a measure of model uncertainty. The lower panel of Table2 presents the results.23 We basically confirm the results of Estrella and Mishkin (1998) and Rudebusch (1998) who show that parameter uncertainty only marginally reduces the efficient feedback parameters in the instrument rules.... ..."

The ordinary least squares estimates together with the AIC values from three di erent functions are shown in Table1 . Our approach is successful in two aspects: First, the OLS estimates are all very close to the values we sampled from ( = 0:3): (i) constant function (^ = 0:28), (ii) exponential function ( ^ a = 0:31; ^ b = 0:23), (iii) reciprocal function ( ^ a = 0:29; ^ b = 0:30), Second, we are able to select the correct model based on AIC....
