We evaluated readings on a per-case (i.e., per-patient) basis rather than a per-score basis because screening serves as a "go no-go" gatekeeper for subsequent workup [ 13].
The Gleason system for grading prostate cancer assigns a score on the basis of the most prevalent and second most prevalent grade.
Each probe has a score on the basis of its fold change relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements for this probe.
Each gene is assigned a score on the basis of its change in gene expression relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements for that gene.
Determination of mutation likelihood using the Manchester model was performed by assigning a score on the basis of malignancy type and age of diagnosis (Evans et al, 2004).
To calculate these indices we ordered the educational groups from highest to lowest and assigned each group a score on the basis of the cumulative percentage distribution of education.
This allowed the authors to ascertain gene-expression profiles for stemness, and to use them as the basis of a scoring system for risk.
"The system is designed on the basis of a scoring matrix which ranks quality at 60% and pricing at 40%," the spokesman said.
As a methodological approach that could provide a valid basis for a scoring rationale in a simplified manner, we therefore opted for the construction of a classification system.
For survival experiments, mice were monitored on a daily basis with a scoring assay based on body weight, activity and general appearance as reported previously.
All animals were monitored on a daily basis with a scoring assay based on body weight, activity, general appearance and behavior 14.
