This method uses a dissimilarity measure (it will be called DM for future references), where each feature is ranked by comparing the averages and standard deviations in each subject.
In step (7), the remaining ambiguous cases (gene mentions with more than one potential Entrez Gene ID) are ranked by comparing contextual information found in the text surrounding the mention with knowledge about each gene.
The percentages of strong PR-A staining for all FTE cases were ranked by quartiles and compared between sample groups.
These 41 agents are ranked by an index that compares the permitted chronic human exposure to the chronic dose rate that induces tumors in 50% of laboratory animals.
The average log2-normalized expression of each long total RNA transcript across the 4 samples was ranked by transcript abundance and compared to published platelet transcript profiles obtained on Affymetrix GeneChip [ 32] and Illumina BeadChip microarray platforms [ 15, 17].
Genes are ranked by MeSHOP similarity score, and compared against the ranked list of Génie candidate genes for Alzheimer disease (a full analysis considering all possible orthologs).
Gene lists are ranked by differential expression between two classes, compared in microarray experiments [ 11- 16].
Insecurity was ranked higher by men compared to women probably because besides preventing delivery service use, it directly affected men: they were more often targets of any insecurity crackdown by security agencies.
After all study subjects are ranked, the comparative efficacy of the 2 treatments is evaluated by comparing the ranks between the 2 groups.
