Statistical analyses were performed with RStudio Inc. (Version 0.98.1103, Boston, MA, USA); differences were viewed as statistically significant at P ≤ 0.05.
A p value ≤ 0.05 was viewed as statistically significant with assignment of a borderline of significance when the p value lies between >0.05 and <0.1, while a non-significant level was noted as NS.
The GEE analysis can be viewed as a statistically appropriate mean comparison.
Obviously, the explanatory value of the HIC variable is being overstated due to feedback from the dependent variable, HIV, so the adjusted R-squared reported of 74% should not be viewed as a statistically rigorous test.
Motivated by DCA-SVM's exceptional performance, we present a DCA-induced biomarker discovery algorithm: DCA-MARK to further validate the linear separability of serum proteomics data, where each biomarker can be viewed as a statistically significant feature with respect to the others [ 30].
The speculative inferences of the previous paragraph should be viewed as hypotheses for verification in future experiments rather than as statistically well-grounded conclusions, for two reasons.
As expected with so many factors investigated, some statistically significant associations were found, although these can only be viewed as hypothesis generating in this context.
The difference, although statistically significant, was, however, not overwhelming and probably should not be viewed as a strong argument for one species tree topology as opposed to another.
Hopefully, it can be viewed as constructive".
It should be viewed as an unacceptable.
