For robustness purposes, we explicitly incorporated the possibility of structural breaks into the statistical analysis using the PANIC methodology by computing the three PANIC panel unit root tests proposed by Bai and Carrión-i-Silvestre (2009), which allow for multiple structural breaks and common factors.
Smoothness of movement was quantified by computing the number of movement units (NMUs) during reaching for the glass and bringing the glass to the mouth.
The minimization of total energy of the system was achieved by computing the total energy for different unit cell volumes over a range ±15 % around experimental volume which is similar to our previous works [32, 33, 34, 35, 36].
Our dynamic programming algorithm starts by computing the Newton polytope for all unit length subsequences, followed by all length two subsequences, …, up to the Newton polytope for the entire sequence x.
The sensitivity of the model variables were assessed by computing the percent change in exposure per unit increase in an input variable.
Since, in this instance, we are interested only in the normal modes at the Brillouin zone (BZ) centre, all of the required information could be obtained by computing the force matrix for the primitive unit cell.
We overcome the intrinsic limitations of single periodic unit-based approaches by computing the successive failures of the material components and associated stress redistributions on arbitrary numbers of periodic units.
Promoter activity was calculated by computing the rate of accumulation of GFP fluorescence per unit time divided by the OD (dGFP/dt/OD) as described [ 27].
The alignment process is achieved by computing the real-time relative motion between the different inertial units.
The narrowness of the phase distribution was tested by computing the kurtosis separately for putative TC and putative RE units using the CircStat toolbox (Berens, 2009).
Each unit in the second layer detects the change in the corresponding attribute by computing the weighted sum of the mismatch signals.
