Although, in our data set the prognostic capacity of the two models was similar, the approach based on categorising a continuous prognostic index produced by the MFP algorithm allowed more flexibility in the determination of risk groups.
The mean calculations are based on data categorised as 1 = [Never]; 2 = [1 3 times/month]; 3 = [1 3 times/week]; 4 = [4 6 times/week]; 5 = [1 2 times/day]; 6 = [>3 times per day].

It is based on categorising care according to risk stratification.
We further categorised level 3 neonatal units based on activity data collected by questionnaire, based on that of the United Kingdom Neonatal Staffing Study (UKNSS), 7 sent during the autumn of 2006 to named EPICure contacts in each hospital.
Based on the data input, these models can be further categorised into statistical models and building physics based models.
The distribution of measured pollutants were extremely skewed, therefore the data were categorised into quartiles, as in previous manuscripts based on NHANES data.
We have analysed the heart and respiratory rates of 111 696 children presenting to a tertiary paediatric ED, categorised as Triage Category 5, and created centiles based on this data.
In one case, a tumour which was categorised as completely responsive based on the clinical data had no response evident at pathological examination.
There are other takeaways from the report, too, based on 2014 data: last year there were 439,243 reported STIs in the UK, with gay men (categorised as gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men) being most at risk of infection.
