Lastly, in order to estimate the search direction, an estimate of the Jacobian must be available. Although the most precise estimates of the Jacobian are when it is calculated analytically using the partial derivatives of the expectation function, these are often prone to typographical errors when they are manually typed into a software program. Almost every software package evaluates their derivatives numerically using forward, backwards, or central differences. Forward difference uses data at the ith and (ith+1) data points to estimate the derivative. Backward difference uses data at (ith— 1) and ith data points, whereas central difference uses values that are more evenly spaced around the point of... 

Because the individual likelihoods were normally distributed and s was independent of U, the resulting marginal likelihood was solvable and itself normally distributed. For nonlinear mixed effect models or when is not independent of U, the evaluation of the marginal likelihood cannot be computed analytically and must be evaluated numerically. It is how the individual software packages evaluate the marginal likelihood function that differentiates them.

The PPDS refrigerant package evaluates thermodynamic and transport properties of selected refrigerants and is based on the recommendations produced by the International Institute of Refrigeration (HR). Table 17.12 lists the refrigerants covered.

Manufacturers participated in the Torino survey as a requirement for consideration as a supplier by our orthopedic hospital (CTO). Consequently, this study was limited as a survey of implants offered competitively by manufacturers for analysis. No sampling criteria were imposed on the manufacturers. Therefore, the packaging evaluated in the survey should be interpreted as illustrative, rather than as a statistically representative sample for Italy or any other European country.
