Finally, because we are identifying our effects solely over variation across grade, variation is limited, which could lead to wrongly failing to reject the null of no effects.
This is important because we are not identifying novel/rare alleles but noting that individuals with BC are more frequently heterozygotic at these loci.
Because we were interested in identifying ecologically-relevant effects, we chose to house animals in groups rather than singly.
Scanning was set to search only for villages with high proportions of deaths because we were interested in identifying the villages with higher than average mortality.
Because we were interested in identifying individuals whose only indication, per ATP III, for an LDL-C goal <100 mg/dL was the presence of diabetes, we excluded individuals with a 10-year Framingham CHD risk score >20% and those with a self-reported history of CHD or stroke.
Because we were interested in identifying learning gains within and between groups, pre- and postassessment scores were compared on a by-question basis between instructors with analysis of variance followed by a Tukey least significant difference (LSD) post hoc comparison of the means.
However, because we were interested in identifying those patients who would live sufficiently long to benefit from treatment given over several months, those clinics (such as those for lung cancer) in which many of the patients had a very short life expectancy were excluded.
We used these determinants because they were identified as predictors for achieving remission after the first 4 months of the study [ 5].
Because sites were located in warm (mean monthly temperature >9.9°C) and wet (log mean monthly precipitation >2.952) areas (Table 1), and because Chironomidae were identified to morphospecies, we used RIVPACS submodel 1 that excludes midges.
We note that, because these candidates were identified through a genetic screen, it is possible that many are functioning indirectly with WEE-1.3 to cause suppression of the infertility phenotype.
