The comparisons between genotypes reported were made between groups of average values from each session for each genotype, paired by session type (displayed in the revised Figure 5); we used this analysis because the independent variable being tested in those cases was the genotype.
Thus a thick line represents a phenotype profile (pattern of average values) for a particular group.
After substituting the constant "10000" for all "could not do task" entries in the data matrix, each variable was separately rank-transformed, with high ranks reflecting poor psychophysical performance (high thresholds, large SOAs, etc).. Ties were resolved by assigning the average rank to a group of tied values.
For 22 individuals in the SIB group and 48 in the Non-SIB group, the average values of DJS in respective intervertebral levels were calculated.
All these effects continued until 16 weeks, with average values of 0.11 mg/dl for CRP and 88 pg/ml for VEGF in the tocilizumab group and average values of 0.39 mg/dl for CRP and 167 pg/ml for VEGF in the TNF-α inhibitor group.
Lightning flash multiplicity was evaluated using a stroke grouping algorithm resulting in average values of about 1.0 and 1.6 for positive and negative flashes respectively and for both LLS.
Equally, the values of the discrepancy were specified as group average values of these percentages.
In the CLP-ODam SUR group, an average value of all combines measurements (i.e. taken at 24, 48 and 72 h post-CLP; n = 9) is shown at the 24 h prior death time point; *p < 0.05 between CLP-Only DIED and SUR #p < 0.05 between CLP-Only DIED and CLP-ODam SUR.
As expected on the basis of the eligibility criteria, asthmatics were younger than COPD and IHD patients, and the group average values of FVC and FEV1 were sensibly lower among COPD cases compared to both IHD and asthmatic subjects.
Based on the test selection criteria previously presented, tables 1 and 2 summarise the most appropriate tests for tennis players, with age and sex group average values of the test battery conducted by the German Tennis Federation (DTB) twice a year since 2009.
We confirmed this statistically by comparing, between the OB and OB+ROT groups, the average values of directional error for the first 6 cycles (p = 0.54; 2-sample t test), as well as for the last 4 cycles (p = 0.37) of rotation learning.
