In environmental monitoring, SAGE could not only provide a method for quickly categorizing chemicals and assigning a mode of toxic action but also allow more sensitive end points to address specifically gene expression pattern.
The intensity is also categorized in four categories and assigned values between 0, 1, 3, or 10.
For "true" exposure, we calculated the arithmetic mean metabolite concentration of all spot urine samples collected from each child during the week, categorized these in quintiles, and assigned "true" high (top 20%) or elevated (top 40%) exposure level.
Filaments were categorized based on their geometrical position and assigned to either the LV, RV, or septum.
Based on their age, individuals on the RVL were categorized into 10-year age bins and assigned to sampling blocks consisting of 450 potential participants in each bin.
Furthermore, the evaluation of swelling and pain have been categorized with yes or no answers and assigned to minor complications, for example, each patient presenting with swelling (yes or no answers) or pain (VAS > 0 equals pain).
Within each randomly-selected data set, we again categorized the 25 metabolite concentration in quintiles, and assigned "predicted" high (top 20%) or elevated (top 40%) exposure levels.
First, AHRQ's Chronic Condition Indicator and Body Systems definitions categorized the primary diagnosis as a chronic condition and assigned the primary diagnosis into 18 indicators roughly analogous to major diagnostic categories [ 36].
Next, we categorized activities by intensity (i.e., moderate, moderate-to-vigorous, vigorous) [ 24, 25] and assigned a step per minute value to each category [ 26]. Adult METs units were used when youth specific values were not available [ 24].
To identify the pathways differentially affected by CR and RP, we categorized proteins whose half-lives were significantly altered (q < 0.05) by age or one or more intervention and assigned those to canonical pathways using IPA.
