METHODS: A decision-analytic Markov model was developed to project the costs and effects of two competing strategies by using test performance from the Airway Epithelial Gene Expression in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer-1 and Airway Epithelial Gene Expression in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer-2 studies.
ELISpot assays for IFN-γ and separately for IL-2 release by mononuclear cells were performed using test-plates from AID, Strassberg, Germany.
Statistic analyses of the experimental data were performed by using appropriate test from Student t test, one-way or post hoc ANOVA.
5) Once the network is trained, that is, after each gene has a score associated to the probability of being membrane, obtain the true labels (membrane or non-membrane) for each gene in test set by using the test set (from step 4) of GO Slim annotations.
For Model I, Burger's model parameters in normal and shear direction were calibrated by using laboratory test results from Frequency Sweep Test performed in both normal and shear direction, respectively; while for Model II, the same calibrated parameters in the normal direction were used, but the values for the shear direction were chosen to be equal with the normal direction.
#Calculated by using χ2 test (deviation from Hardy Weinberg conditions).
The sensitivity of this ELISA test for αSD detection was compared to the previously described Western-blot method [ 5], by using both tests to examine serial dilutions from the same sick M83 mouse brain.
Increasingly, studies are also showing the value of such signatures to predict response to therapy, for example by using these tests to evaluate archival specimens from randomized clinical trials [ 34- 36].
Similarly, the AFT-MDR method is also improved by using t-test statistic calculated from the standardized residuals of high and low risk groups.
We tested for non-constant incidence of pregnancy by using a test for the shape parameter from the Weibull distribution [26].
