Before calculations, the data were log2 transformed and standardised within each protocol.
Before calculation of the Dice coefficient, the hex coded strings (Fig. 5) are re-converted into bit arrays for bitwise comparison.
Before calculation of the decorrelation values by SSADA, the central foveal avascular zone in normal eyes was chosen as a noise region after we applied the same scanning pattern on the macular region.
The modulus of the approximately linear region of the stress strain curve was obtained before calculation of the mean.
1. Deleting the pair method means that pairs with X, Y, or both X and Y below the detection limit are discarded before calculation of the CCC.
Data about each antibody were pooled in each volunteer before calculation of the relevant value expressed per mm length of the section.
Background absorbance from cell lysates and buffers were subtracted from the absorbance of stimulated and unstimulated samples before calculation of the relative absorbance.
pH values were re-exponentiated before calculation of the mean concentration of H ions, which then was expressed as the negative common logarithm again.
In the case of experiments performed in replicate, signal intensities were averaged before calculation of the ratios.
Before calculation of the correlation performance, we apply a logistic fitting function to all quality metrics under comparison.
For the sake of clarity, all values shown below have been corrected for blank value before calculation of the aluminum concentration.
