A sub model without each of the interaction terms was compared to the full model containing all the pairwise interactions by performing the log-likelihood test and generating a P- value, allowing testing if the pairwise associations between the variables was relevant in the study population.
Where the relationship was significant, the study located the precise source of the differences by performing pairwise comparisons between the means of the groups using the Tukey HSD technique.
As incomplete genomes are not suited for bidirectional best-BLAST analyses like InParanoid, the genes of the two incomplete genomes were added by performing a pairwise BLAST analysis of the genes from the incomplete genomes against the three complete genomes.
EdgeR (Robinson et al. 2010) was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by performing four pairwise comparisons between the 1- and 2-day-old previtellogenic ovary sample to four other samples (larvae, pupae, male, 24-hr PBM carcass).
EdgeR (Robinson et al. 2010) was used to identify DEGs by performing four pairwise comparisons between the 1- and 2-day-old ovary sample to four other samples (larvae, pupae, male, 24-hr PBM carcass with ovaries removed).
An additional technical validation was done by performing a pairwise correlation analysis between the miRNA profiles obtained by qRT-PCR and the nCounter Analysis System for the 12 samples analyzed on both platforms.
We studied the effect of EPO compared to within-subject saline controls by performing pairwise comparisons within the collagen carrier group, the autograft group, and the PCL scaffold group, and no comparisons between the 3 different treatment modalities were performed.
The authors/sponsors departed from their study protocol in the CSR itself by performing pairwise comparisons of two of the three groups when the omnibus ANOVA showed no significance in either the continuous or dichotomous variables.
The fitted count data was analyzed by performing pairwise comparisons between the different experimental groups.
The orthologous protein information was obtained by performing pairwise alignment of the sequences using BLASTp at NCBI (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi).nih.gov/Blast.cgi
