In order to compile their top 25 lists (evaluating colleges in categories of size, location, gay friendliness, jock friendliness and more) Newsweek drew on data from College Prowler, school statistics (like acceptance rates and credentials of incoming freshmen) and specialized reports.
The ten equally spaced categories of size were allowed to vary among species as appropriate.
Tumor size was classified in three categories of size (small, medium and large) measured by the diameter of the tumors (S≤2 cm, 2
Linear trends were tested by fitting as continuous variables values 1, 2 and 3 for grade and the median value for each the defined categories of size.
The proportions of distinct repeats assigned to six categories of size intervals (30 39, 40 59, 60 89, 90 149, 150 249, and >250 bp) reveal that the distribution of repeat sizes is variable among and within lineages (supplementary fig. S2, Supplementary Material online).
Wylie et al. [ 62] found that for samples containing a low number of fibers > 8 μm in length and ≤ 0.25 μm in diameter, the correlation coefficient was low enough to suggest that other parameters (other categories of size, shape or other factors) may play a role in carcinogenicity.
First, we interpret the ratings 0,…,6 as mid points of category bins of size 1, meaning that the full scale size F equals 7 and its center C equals 3. We map this linearly to the range [−1,1] by z = 2 r − C F, (6).
It is known that the category of large size can easily receive high prediction accuracy, while the category of small size can easily receive low prediction accuracy.
To obtain more variability in the outcome variables in the smallest category of herd size, herds with 20-49 and those with 50-99 cattle were merged into one smallest herd size category 20-999 cows).
