The phrase "a term was determined" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where a specific term or definition has been established or decided upon.
Example: "After much discussion, a term was determined to best describe the new policy."
Alternatives: "a term was established" or "a term was defined".
According to mixed theories, the reference of a term is determined how the relevant linguistic community causally interacts with potential referents as well as how they describe potential referents.
Unfortunately, as argued in Preston 1997 (ch.2), Feyerabend completely failed to follow up this insight by endorsing Wittgenstein's non-representationalist conception of meaning, according to which the meaning of a term is determined by its use.
The strength of the relationship between an experimental gene set and a term is determined by comparing the log (base 10) of the sum of the PF values for the experimental gene set (called the LPF) with a distribution of the same values for 1000 random gene sets of the same size as the experimental gene set.
The significance level of the enrichment for a GO term was determined by a hyper-geometric test (Fisher's Exact Test [ 43]).
A GO term was determined to be significantly overrepresented in a particular group when Z > 4.75 (P < 10− after Bonferroni correction).
The significance of occurrence for a certain GO term was determined using a Fisher's exact test.
The frequency of a particular GO term was determined from the total number of GO terms obtained for that library.
The number of genes annotated with a specific GO term was determined for the list of differentially expressed genes (n sel).
To further characterize what the changes across time were, a linear contrast of the interaction term was determined and was found to be highly significant (p<0.0001), indicating that the groups made linear changes across time with different slopes.
Significance of the interaction term was determined by a likelihood-ratio test.
