Because we limited our analysis only to the surveillance techniques used by the FoodNet surveillance system, our findings might not be comparable to other studies that found cases of HUS using other case definitions [ 17– 217.
Similarly, bad electrodes or electrodes close to epileptic foci would be expected to affect our analysis only minimally because, during training, those electrodes would automatically be assigned lower weights to improve the decoding accuracy.
Because of this, we restricted our analysis only to functional sub-families.
Because we chose to focus our analysis only on diseases that were confirmed outcomes of the Physicians Health Studyy, we did not tackle other important conditions such as neurodegenerative and psychiatric disease.
Because our analysis considered only the difference measured at the end of follow-up for all studies, our meta-analysis reports a non-sigificant finding for this latter study.
Because our analysis compared only the top with the bottom categories, we did not use data from the intermediate categories.
Because our analysis was only performed on the known and predicted miRNA-mRNA interactions, some significantly correlated probe-probe pairs might be ignored in our work due to the lack of information for their miRNA-target relationships.
Because our analysis is only on the type of data defined and collected in a computer based format it is likely that some of the data elements that are not indicated as being collected by a centre are captured in paper charts or through information systems at the organizational level but not integrated with the HPC databases.
However, because our analysis intentionally included only individuals who remained alive and under observation for five years, our analysis represents a healthier group of individuals with arthritis.
It is difficult to discuss the relationship between the spatial annual pattern of tropospheric gradient found by Yoshida (2010) and the annual pattern of the optimum GRAD parameter identified in the present study, because our analysis was restricted to only two sites due to limitations on computation time.
