The doses of medication were selected to produce a moderate effect on gastric emptying based on prior studies utilizing other methods for studying gastrointestinal transit [ 7, 8].
We aimed to interview a minimum of 16 PCPs, a number we determined as sufficient for reaching redundancy of information and themes based on prior experience with qualitative methods and interviewing clinicians.
We implemented CNORfeeder, an R package designed to be integrated with methods based on prior knowledge such as CellNOptR as shown in Figure 1.
Most routing methods are based on prior information such as the contact history [4], contact quality [5], and social-awareness [6, 7].
Character mapping methods are based on prior distributions and models of evolution, the reliability of which remains unclear [ 29].
A log2 ratio cut-off of +/− 0.8 was used to stringently define gene amplification and deletion, respectively, based on prior published studies as described in the methods section [ 7, 18, 19].
We therefore believe that the AGEP approach will incrementally gain in value in the future, as the databases, annotations and statistical, bioinformatic, data mining and artifical intelligence methods for learning based on prior information continue to improve.
They used something called Bayesian inference, a statistical method of estimating probability based on prior assumptions.
Direct methods assign properties to nodes, based on prior knowledge of properties of their direct neighbours.
Artificial neural network is a stochastic (based on probabilistic method) and heuristic model (action based on prior experience) (Zurada 1997; Bhattacharjee 2007; Kothari and Bhattacharjee 2011).
