The Technical Appendix describes the process followed to calculate variables used in the analysis.
The cleaned data file was then submitted to recoding and transformations to create and calculate variables ready for analyses.
Subscript of a calculated variable.
To this end we calculated variable importance in the projection (VIP) for RT descriptors in a preliminary model (i.e. Model-2, vide infra).
Table 1 Definition of Master Variables and Calculated Variables as followed by DICTION* Assumptions Calculated Variables 1) Insistence Repetition of key terms indicates a preference for a limited, ordered world.
To obtain the calculated variables, we used the following formulas: ● Cardiac index (CI) = Cardiac output/Weight.
Variables with colinearity were analyzed in different models (adjusted by primary variables or calculated variables respectively) to reduce the bias.
An experiment with 32 participants was conducted to compare values of these calculated variables with perceived openness.
The DICTION results of NRE-SEs' and NRE-CEs' master and calculated variables are displayed in Table 2.
The authors evaluated urinary indices which are actually calculated variables, dependent on multiple measured parameters.
The preprocessing phase calculates variables that are used by the core process and do not change during iterations.
