In population biology, for instance, the points in X are taken to represent the number of animals in a population, and the map T gives the change in number over time.
Because of fluctuations in ARUP's client mix it is difficult to draw conclusions from the changes in these numbers over time; nonetheless, both sets of results demonstrate a considerable degree of questionable ordering.
We used preliminary time series analyses to explore the overall change in these numbers over time.
However, the use of the GEE modeling does account for the change in patient numbers over time and an analysis that excluded patients that did not have baseline data available did not alter the conclusions.
That's a pretty big change in numbers over a short amount of time.
As such, this method precludes a net change in cell number over time due to cell proliferation.
Flow cytometry data were used to measure the change in copy number over time and to normalize the deep sequencing data (Yabuki et al., 2002).
Data on species richness at 20 different Goonyella Riverside mine rehabilitation areas over a 3-year period (Table 2) was assessed using regression analysis to demonstrate changes in plant species numbers over time.
The CD4 slope which represents changes in numbers of CD4 T-cells over time strongly predicts HIV disease progression; an annual CD4 depletion of 10 additional cells/µl has been associated with a 2% increased likelihood of developing AIDS [27], [28].
The determinants were 1) number of unmet needs (T0; first available routine outcome monitoring assessment); 2) QoL total score (T0; first available routine outcome monitoring assessment); 3) changes in number of unmet needs over time, and 4) an interaction (T0 QoL total score * change in number of unmet needs over time).
Neither number of somatic symptoms or changes in number symptoms reported over time differ between men and women or between younger and older patients.
