The phrase "a stepwise order" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a process or sequence that is organized in incremental steps.
Example: "To complete the experiment, follow the procedure in a stepwise order to ensure accuracy."
Alternatives: "a sequential order" or "a systematic order".
When predictive coefficients from this population were used to classify a different group of 206 ambulatory adults, past utilization also increased in stepwise order by case-mix class.
As DJ joints were not detected by Southern blotting, we deduced that the stepwise order of VDJ assembly for the TCRβDMF is mainly V-to-D rearrangement, followed by VD-to-J rearrangement.
This limited polyUb chain synthesis occurred nonprocessively; i.e., reaction products appear in stepwise order and subsequently disappear in conjunction with the appearance of the next slower-migrating band.
It is generally assumed that it acts via a stepwise higher-order oligomerization process and recruitment of histone-modifying activities (Canzio et al, 2014).
Adapters were trimmed off the 36 mer reads using a stepwise procedure in order to allow for sequencing errors.
Variables that showed significant association with the outcome were included in the multivariate Cox proportional-hazard model in a stepwise method, in order to determine the independent predictors for morbidity and oncological outcome.
Each keyword will be brought into the model in a stepwise manner in an order determined by their correlation coefficient and then use a partial F test to evaluate goodness of fit after each keyword is brought into the model (this will be repeated until the goodness of fit stops improving).
Regression analysis with a stepwise approach confirmed this order of relevance of the tested variables on the changes in cognitive function (data not shown).
We then added entorhinal cortex volume on MRI and p-τ/Aβ in CSF using a stepwise forward procedure in order to determine the effect of each variable on the overall performance of the model.
IGENT adopts an exhaustive search scheme that investigates all possible interactions in lower-order interactions and a stepwise search scheme for higher-order interactions.
