Because we used a between-subjects design and analysis, our results rule out a demand-characteristics interpretation that may explain a similar finding in earlier research.
It is because of this characteristic interpretation that sentences of this type are often described as containing "habitual be" (or "distributive be").
Messick [ 9] stated that validity is a characteristic of the interpretation of results and does not pertain to the instrument itself.
Bayesian methods in clinical trials and biomedical research, in general, have become quite prominent in the last decade due to their flexibility in use, good operating characteristics, interpretation, and in their ability to handle design and analysis issues in complex models, such as survival models, models for longitudinal data, and models for discrete data.
The integration of literature into data analysis and interpretation is a characteristic of action research – called "dialectical analysis" by Winter [ 30].
For all this, however, a surprising number of legal theorists agree at least at an abstract level about one central characteristic of interpretation, namely that interpretation is a Janus-faced concept, encompassing both a backward-looking conserving component, and a forward-looking creative one.
Since the functional properties of biological tissue are represented by its spectral characteristics, an appropriate interpretation of these spectral characteristics is the key to link hyperspectral measurements with tissue pathophysiology.
In this context, validity is referred to as a test characteristic, supporting the interpretation of the relationships between test scores and empirical evidence (Messick 1995).
But perhaps Porphyry's most important and influential contribution was the incorporation into Neoplatonism of Aristotle's logic, in particular the doctrine of the categories, with the characteristic Neoplatonic interpretation of them as terms signifying entities.
Model discrimination was assessed by the C-statistic derived from calculating the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (interpretation of c-index: excellent ≥0.90, adequate 0.70 to 0.89, poor < 0.70) and the generalized max-rescaled R-squared statistic [ 18, 22].
Although an increase in TSL implies a weakening in the IOS characteristics, the interpretation of the dynamics is tricky since it is difficult to trace out whither the results stem from: TSL consists of a ratio of distorting taxes, and it is difficult to disentangle which of the two is more distortionary.
