In addition, we allowed for correlations between covariates and exposure variables by assuming that the covariates affected the latent variable (see Additional file 1, p. 3).
Thus, a combined treatment with ABT-737 and nutlin-3 efficiently induces the apoptosis of latency III EBV cells producing large amounts of Bcl-2 protein, without affecting the latent stage of the virus.
The true mercury exposure is hypothesized to affect the two latent outcome functions negatively after adjustment for effects of covariates.
In clinical trial data, a subset of items may indeed rather act as causal indicators, i.e. variables that directly affect the underlying latent variable 'health' and not the other way round (e.g. pain will give 'bad' health but not all patients with 'bad' health will have pain).
Our findings reveal patterns in the latent profiles of children's behavioral problems and caregiver variables that affect the composition of the latent profile group.
The correlation between the two factors was.2 or.6, and the genetic variant affected the second latent factor only.
The correlation between the first and second factor equalled.3, but the correlation between the third factor and the other two factors was.2 or.6, and the genetic variant affected the third latent factor only.
In the second regime, lower levels of viral replication do not significantly affect the decay rate of the latent reservoir.
