The phrase "alternation number" is not commonly used in written English and may not be widely recognized.
It could be used in specific contexts, such as mathematics or computer science, where it refers to a particular value or concept related to alternation.
Example: "In this algorithm, the alternation number determines the number of times the state changes between two conditions."
Alternatives: "alternation count" or "alternation index".
Randomisation: adequate (methods such as computer generated random numbers or use of a random number table), inadequate (methods such as assignment based on day of presentation or alternation), unclear (method not described).
In each case, we give the raw count of alternations, the number of non- can't-tell" tokenon- can't-tellf attested/possible alternon- can't-telle tokensoken rathe.
However, "random" is often used inappropriately in the literature to describe trials in which non-random, deterministic allocation methods were used, such as alternation, hospital numbers, or date of birth.
Percentage alternation is the number of triads containing entries into all three arms divided by the maximum possible alternations (the total number of arms entered minus 2) X 100.
Human cancer is characterized by somatic copy number alternation and unique gene expression profiles.
The closer this value to zero, the more robust the running time on the used device subject to the alternation of the number of kernels is.
As with PIK3CA, no difference was observed for the KRAS and BRAF copy number alternation (data not shown).
The Student t-test, chi-squared test and Fisher test were used to evaluate differences in the patients' characteristics stratified by the copy number alternation.
Both were inadequate in three quasi-randomised trials that used alternation or hospital number for sequence generation 55 58 59 and were not described in all other trials (table 3 and fig 2).
57 In another work, Yang et al integrated gene expression with gene copy number alternation, DNA methylation, associated miRNA expression, and miRNA target prediction to identify key regulatory miRNA genes that regulate ovarian cancer development and then experimentally validated the function of one predicted miRNA gene.
Outcomes are measured as the percentage of times the mouse chooses to enter a different arm than the one it recently visited (alternations), divided by the possible number of alternations it could have made in the task.
