c) Theoretical sampling: the diagrams and all the data at hand were analysed and sorted, trying to identify recurrent patterns, underlying relations and hidden meaning.
At the moment, this is all the data at hand, so further validation will require more time and a great deal more effort, which is already nontrivial, in the field.
This process is inductive and empirical; we seek to identify hypotheses that explain all the data at hand and suggest a causal relationship between predictor variables (e.g., a public health intervention) and outcomes (e.g., risk behaviours or infection).
To guard against this, our practice is to be scrupulously aware of all the data at hand and only reject non-supportive data with great reluctance and for clear reasons.
By having all required data at hand we can re-adjust inaccurately determined TF binding sequences by shifting some motifs by some positions and by assigning a strand annotation, if necessary.
Where patients with rare and unknown diseases are provided with combined clinical and molecular diagnoses in a nationally-scaled infrastructure so that they can see the right expert with all their relevant data at hand.
All told, the data at hand would suggest that the Clinton family has—at least over the last several years donated more money (and at a far higher proportion of their wealth) than the Trump family.
It securely provides access to records so if a doctor gets an after-hours call about a patient, they have all their necessary medical data at hand so they can make informed decisions.
An account is a set of proposed explanations and hypotheses that could be put forth to explain all of the observed data at hand.
All other priors were taken independently uniform in an attempt to estimate all remaining parameters only from the experimental data at hand.
During a consensus session, all codes were compared and disagreements were reviewed with the data at hand.
