Effects of long-range transported PM2.5 were similarly modified by obesity (results not shown), obviously because of substantial correlation between PM2.5 and long-range transported PM2.5.
In case of substantial correlations, we applied regression analysis.
The elastic net constraints set some coefficients in the model exactly to zero because of the model's geometry, thus performing variable selection, and also simultaneously stabilises the coefficient estimates in the presence of substantial correlation between the CEIP.
Because of the substantial correlation observed between histology and expression, ideally, either samples of pure histology or single microdissected components should be analyzed, as in the TGCT study by Skotheim et al (195).
Because of the substantial correlation between the android and gynoid fat masses, relative fat distribution was characterized as the android:gynoid (A G) fat mass ratio in the analyses.
Moreover, we excluded all metastasis cases with any N1 or M1 stage tumors because of their substantial correlation with recurrence, and investigated the association between miR-125b expression and RFS after that.
However, because of the strong first factor, the substantial correlation of all items with this latent variable, and the low prevalence of the items related to the second factor, we considered perceived chewing ability as a construct that could be characterized by a summary score.
Substantial correlations were observed between memory measures and measures of intelligence and academic attainments.
