Trends in first trimester obesity for individual ethnic groups were explored by comparing the linear component of the incidence slopes over time using 95% CIs.
One could likely further refine the classification of these profiles by assessing the magnitude of the linear component, however subsequent thresholds on metrics like these would be subjective and not contribute further to the understanding of the biological basis of these reflectance changes.
The proposed control law has two components: the linear component is designed by using H∞ robust control with and the nonlinear is based on sliding mode control.
Subtraction of the linear component was assisted by a P/4 procedure following the pulse paradigm listed above.
About 80% of the decrease in the distance traveled could be explained by the linear trend component, which differed by strain (F3,28 = 8.19, p < 0.0005).
About 82% of the variation in the change across sessions was explained by the linear trend component, which differed by strain (F3,28 = 2.94, p ≤ 0.05).
Surprisingly, the average performance (reflected by the average distance swum to reach the platform) in the sMWM task was not associated with the speed of learning (reflected by the linear trend component of the distance swum to reach the platform).
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06225.008 The dynamics of behavioral responses are shaped by the linear filter component of LN models, while the static nonlinearity only provides saturation and instantaneous scaling.
This equation can also be rearranged to model the abnormal V5/MT+ responses in patients, defined by a loss of the positive linear component in control V5/MT+ responses, which also accurately predicts the data (R2 = 0.93), or indeed the positive linear component itself (R2 = 0.98).
The results indicated that a large fraction of the changes could be accounted for by a nearly linear component in time, which intuitively corresponds simply to some words becoming more frequent and some becoming less frequent.
