Another limitation was that only information on a few confounding factors was available; other unmeasured confounders could have been added to Figure 1.
The number of hits produced from this analysis can be influenced by a few confounding factors, which should be considered when viewing the results.
For the genomic neighborhood analysis, in order to maximize its reliability, we removed from the dataset gene whose upstream partner was a "pseudogene" or a "dubious ORF", as well as a few confounding cases where adjacent transcripts were overlapping.
Accordingly, we predict that our findings will most likely extend to populations who have high levels of chronic worry but who present with few confounding additional factors (e.g., medication, co-morbid depression).
While there is strength in understanding embodiment as it arises in social contexts, there are a few unavoidable confounds such an approach encounters when trying to better understand embodiment as a cognitive phenomenon and its role in learning.
See article.Just a few weeks after confounding the pundits by declaring that he was seriously interested in running for president again, Mitt Romney announced that, upon reflection and a great deal of data-crunching, he was not going to enter the race after all.Harper Lee said she was "humbled and amazed" that her second novel would be published, 55 years after "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Nevertheless, as we did not have information on body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, gestational weight gain or maternal diet to name a few, some residual confounding may have distorted our results.
Recently it has been suggested that, in mice, a 6 h fast provides a more physiologically relevant baseline, increased sensitivity and fewer confounding variables for the evaluation of serum glucose and glucose tolerance [ 31, 32].
The user-financed programs in our sample were better targeted, more closely tailored to local conditions and needs, had better monitoring and a greater willingness to enforce conditionality, and had far fewer confounding side objectives than government-financed programs.
Evolution within these groups should be well suited for study using sequence since there will be fewer confounding factors.
We believe that this set of highly de-repressed genes presents good models for clarifying current problems regarding the mechanism of Cyc8 Tup1 repression with fewer confounding factors.
