The phrase "analysis we specified the" is not correct in written English as it lacks clarity and completeness.
It could be used in a context where you are discussing a specific analysis that was previously defined, but it needs additional information to be meaningful.
Example: "In the analysis we specified the parameters for the study, which helped us achieve accurate results."
Alternatives: "the analysis we defined" or "the analysis we outlined".
For the PPI analysis, we specified general linear models (GLMs) with regressors for the respective ROI time course, for the experimental conditions (i.e. a boxcar function representing up- and down-regulation and baseline blocks convolved with the canonical hemodynamic response function in SPM8), and for the interaction between the two.
In first level analysis, we specified GLMs with regressors for the up-regulation condition, and covariates derived from head movement parameters to capture residual motion artifacts.
Moreover, to sharpen our analysis, we specified some functions and only compared the most pessimistic case under the default system with the most optimistic case under the reformed system.
For the first level analysis we specified a general linear model in which events were sorted into several regressors as a function of the trial component, the distraction condition, and subsequent memory.
For further analysis, we specified clusters with a very high increase of event-related beta by choosing regions t>5.3 compared to baseline (see Figure 3).
For STIRRUPS Classifier analysis (see below), we specified the V1-V3-trimmed version of the 16S rDNA database with species-level taxon assignments and a 97% identity threshold.
In contrast to other studies using global indicators of health status for QAS analysis (Earle et al, 2000), we specified the frame of individual reference.
Third, we perform a meta-analysis and we specify the direction of each factor on format dominance.
Before carrying out the analysis we, we specified several hypotheses to test potential explanations for variability (I.e heterogeneity) among the studies.
