The performance of COMAC can be assessed based on different measures, such as the stability and efficiency of the clustering algorithm, system reliability and time delay.
We used two different methods to quantify variation, which are based on different measures of morphological distance: Procrustes distance and Mahalanobis distance [27].
Most of the previous studies did not conduct their analysis based on different measures of the peer group, but have rather focused either on school and grade level peers only [11] or on perceived peer measures ([7], [8], [17].
In order to overcome these limitations, O'Connor [ 7] conducted a meta-analysis of personality disorders in order to produce a consensual factor structure based on different measures.
The published clinical trials have used varying definitions of efficacy, failure, and resistance based on different measures of virologic responses [ 15].
However, these interpretations are based on different measures of performance in each maze: LMN lesion increased path length and decreased speed in the water maze, but did not affect cup choice errors or mean direction in the spatial landmark task.
Second, since the current study is a cross-sectional design, we cannot explore whether diagnosis of MetS based on different measures have the same predictive capacity in the risk of future diabetes and CVD mortality and morbidity.
Based on different measures of gene expression (EST, SAGE and microarray) and GC content in human and mouse genomes, Sémon et al. [ 11] showed that the correlations (either positive or negative) between GC content and gene expression were very weak.
Based on different measures of CUB, the occurrence and function of translationally optimized gene products has been studied (see e.g. [ 14, 15] and references therein) and compiled e.g. for Escherichia coli [ 16], Frankia [ 17], or Yeast [ 18]; however, most reports lack a statistical assessment.
