It follows that we can find such a subgraph in the partition intersection graph of C by testing the intersection pattern of each pair of characters in C[ 10].
In [ 9], it was also shown that we can determine the compatibility of a pairwise compatible set C of three-state characters by testing the intersection patterns of C for the existence of one of a set of four forbidden patterns.
Using age-adjusted linear and logistic regression models, differences in BMI and metabolic syndrome components according to occupation grade and the odds of decreased GFR according to all factors under study were computed stratified by sex as a means of testing the pattern, strength, and magnitude of associations with the main outcome and exposures.
To assist in describing the potential impact of bias from loss to follow-up, effect modification by response pattern was examined by testing the interaction of response pattern by main effect, and the change in risk was examined when the number of follow up assessments was entered into the model.
The design of the present study allowed us to address the climatic component of the variation (by testing the repeatability of this pattern in the Thekla lark complex) while simultaneously controlling for the possible influence of interspecific competition (by including both allopatric and sympatric populations) and phylogenetic effects (by using a comparative method).
Secondly, we evaluated the placement of Rhizaria within the SAR clade by testing the three possible branching patterns between Rhizaria, stramenopiles, and alveolates.
By testing the trends of the temporal patterns, the results indicate whether the temporal patterns mean the characteristic trends or the levels of the evaluation index value.
We tested the pattern of isolation by distance by performing Mantel tests with 10000 random permutations to compare the genetic and geographic distance matrices.
We tested the pattern of isolation by distance within these two regions by performing Mantel tests with 10000 random permutations to compare the genetic and geographic distance matrices.
We examined the overlap between AITD and the other 11 immune-mediated diseases that provided susceptibility loci to the ImmunoChip in turn, by testing whether the pattern of AITD association across immune-mediated disease regions differed according to whether those regions had previously been associated with each specific immune-mediated disease or not (Table 2; (16)).
