To avoid over-fitting the data and provide for validation of the model, subjects were randomly partitioned into either a training set (for the initial analysis) or a testing set (for subsequent validation) at a 2 1 ratio (frontloaded to increase the precision of the classifier identified in the training set), stratified by case-control status to ensure an equal distribution between sets.
Quota plans were developed to ensure an equal spread by age, gender and ethnicity and by geographic area, across Singapore.
Each pair of primers was tested together with the pair corresponding to βtubulin60D, which was used as a control to ensure an equal amplification efficiency by comparing the slopes of the obtained standard curves.
Stratification by gender and site is done to ensure an equal representation in groups at each site.
Following baseline testing, patients were randomly assigned (blocked randomization to ensure an equal number per treatment group by site) to treatment with exenatide or metformin for 3-months.
To ensure an equal distribution among these two groups patients will be stratified by gender, treatment center and disease type.
