The phrase "a procedure that transforms" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a method or process that changes something from one state to another.
Example: "The research outlines a procedure that transforms raw data into meaningful insights."
Alternatives: "a method that alters" or "a process that changes".
PCA is a statistical procedure that transforms a number of possibly correlated variables into a smaller number of variables called principal components (Jolliffe 2002).
PCA involves a mathematical procedure that transforms correlated variables (RSCU values) into a smaller number of uncorrelated variables called principal components.
In this paper, we present a bus linearization procedure that transforms an arbitrary nonlinear bus configuration of an R-Mesh into an equivalent acyclic linear bus configuration implementable on a linear R-Mesh (LR-Mesh), a weaker version of the unrestricted R-Mesh.
As defined by Todeschini and Consonni [31], a molecular descriptor is the final result of a logical and mathematical procedure that transforms chemical information encoded within a symbolic representation of a molecule into a useful number (calculated descriptors), or the result of standardized experiments (experimental descriptors).
PCA involved a mathematical procedure that transformed the number of possibly correlated variables into a smaller number of orthogonal variables, called the principal components (PCs), with the minimum loss of original information.
Whitening, or sphering, is a procedure that linearly transforms the data so that the transformed data have the identity as its covariance matrix; in particular, the whitened data are uncorrelated[7].
The 1-page consent form that a patient signs for a procedure that then transforms into a 6-page research study consent form begins to make sense.
The aim of this work was to achieve a procedure that could totally transform calcium carbonate template derived from wood (Calamus Manna or rattan) into a biomimetic hydroxyapatite scaffold, yet preserving its original hierarchical architecture.
In a similar vein, the vertex-to-vertex distance matrix can be constructed from the leaf-to-leaf distance, but the construction involves considering whether certain linear inequalities hold and so it isn't a procedure that will, a priori, transform spectra in a simple way.
The process of identifying meaningful m/z values principal to (C) and (G) was non-trivial since conventional strategy involved the application of mathematical procedures that transformed a number of possibly correlated variables into smaller number of uncorrelated variables by applying principal component analysis (PCA).
