One of those friends was Daily Dot journalist Richard Lewis, who, with caustic irony, ultimately played a major part in breaking the match-fixing story.
Because these analyses involved breaking the matching, they were adjusted for matching variables (5-year age groups, district of residence).
We are also concerned about the extent to which the adjustment factors used in the unmatched analysis would compensate for breaking the matching.
The AUC analyses were performed using frequency (by breaking the matching while adjusting for relevant variables) rather than individual matching as there are no well-established methods for the latter.
In the end we were able to control the ball and break the match.
An alternative to conditional logistic regression in matched studies with disproportionate numbers of cases and controls is to break the match and conduct unconditional logistic regression with detailed adjustment for the matching factors [ 29].
Due to small strata in this analysis, we broke the matched pairs and adjusted for age using the same categories used in the frequency matched studies.
When stratifying on variables other than the matched factors of age and index year, we had to break the matching and therefore calculated odds ratios adjusted for age and index year (instead of conditional odds ratios).
The match also broke the friendly match record set by North Korea against Guam 21-0.
