The phrase "associated if" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to express a conditional relationship, but it lacks clarity and context.
Example: "The results are associated if the variables are correlated."
Alternatives: "linked when" or "connected if".
The association result was determined to be "associated" if the p-value was <0.05 or the odds ratio and 95% CI were in a suitable range.
Before regression analysis Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient was used to give an indication of the magnitude of association (collinearity) between explanatory variables and they were considered highly associated if their correlation coefficient was greater than 0.7.
It is obvious that a sequence of asymptotically negatively associated random variables is negatively associated if and only if ρ − ( 1 ) = 0. Compared to negative association, asymptotically negative association defines a strictly larger class of random variables (for detailed examples, see Zhang [2]).
It is associated, if not actually identified, with individuality and also with the seat of rational consciousness.
Thus character traits are associated, if not synonymous, with virtues.
An infinite collection is associated if every finite subcollection is associated.
Cases were identified as being H1N1-associated if nasal swab or respiratory secretions were positive for novel influenza A (H1N1) by specific rapid antigen or culture testing.
Alternatively, these "free" cellulosomes may yet remain cell-associated (if not cell-attached) through their integration in the glycocalyx matrix of the polycellulosomal complexes.
Genes were defined as TB-associated if they met the following inclusion criteria: minimum mean TB expression ≥25, fold expression difference (TB versus LE) ≥5 with a p value ≤0.05.
Cases of CDI were classified as healthcare-associated if the patient's diarrhea developed > 48 hours following hospital admission.
C. difficile was categorized as community-associated if symptoms developed within 72 hours of admission, with no hospitalization in the previous 8 weeks, consistent with CNISP [ 14].
