We used the total EPDS scale score as a continuous variable to reflect postpartum depression symptom severity, as well as a binary variable obtained by dichotomizing scores at the suggested cut-off score of 13 for diagnosing major depression [ 71].
To test the hypothesis that children with COHb concentrations above the safe level of 2.5% are more susceptible to ARI, we created two binary variables: one to reflect the occurrence of ARI (0, no ARI; 1, at least one case of ARI), and the second variable to reflect the level of COHb (0, COHb ≤ 2.5%; 1, COHb > 2.5%).
It combines the variables in a SNP subset to construct a single binary variable and uses classification accuracy of the binary variable to evaluate a SNP-subset.
Responses were re-coded to create a binary variable reflecting preference, so that scores from 1 to 4 indicated a preference for the left presented face, and scores from 5 to 8 reflected a preference for the right presented face.
Our response variable was a binary variable that reflected whether influenza was detected or undetected at a site.
Equations 5 and 6 represent the observed binary variables which reflect the latent net benefits, fer t ha * and H M ha *, from adopting inorganic fertilizer and improved maize variety, respectively.
At the output side of ANN, on the other hand, learning target against each data sample is given to be a binary variable reflecting status of an individual generator.
Three binary variables reflecting exposure to the Avahan intervention were investigated: whether or not MSM had ever been contacted by community mobilizers/staff from Sangama; whether or not they had ever been given condoms by Sangama staff; and whether they had ever seen a demonstration of correct condom use by a Sangama worker.
Linguistic variables aim to reflect individuals' perception on the variable.
Marital status was also coded with a binary variable reflecting whether the student's parents were married in eighth grade.
