Standardisation of data collection and analytic procedures are promoted by the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH), an umbrella organisation for a network of independent HDSS centres in low- and middle-income countries (17).
However, there remain huge ambiguities in its definitions, implications, particularly measurable indicators, and analytic procedures.
The study laboratory used conventional sample preparation and analytic procedures.
HZ and JR also developed the microbiota testing strategy, methods and analytic procedures.
MW applied for grant support (ELAN-Fonds, University of Erlangen), initiated and conducted the study, established and conducted the methods and analytic procedures and contributed significantly to the manuscript.
In order for a molecular signature to be fully understood by other researchers, detailed information on the experimental protocol, including the patient selection criteria and experimental and analytic procedures, must be made available.
Furthermore, for progress in this area more standardization in the measurement of both PCR and alcohol use, the follow-up periods, and analytic procedures is needed, considering the significant heterogeneity present in our review.
Analytic procedures for environmental and biomedical data often have a limit of detection (LOD), which is defined as the lowest concentration level of a substance that can be determined to be statistically different from a blank value with a stated confidence level.
Based on data analytic procedures for multilevel models (Bauer & Curran, 2005; Preacher, Curran, & Bauer, 2006), we examined simple slopes.
Analytic procedures for environmental measurement data with DLs are often presented in the context of environmental monitoring where the primary goal is estimation of distributional parameters when numbers of measurements are limited (Gleit 1985; Haas and Scheff 1990; Helsel 1990; Persson and Rootzen 197; Singh and Nocerino 2002; Travis and Land 1990).
