As MAPK pathway may also influence the stability of IAPs in the infected cells, we have checked for the influence of MAPK pathway on the stabilization of IAPs.
In clinical trials, results should be checked for an influence of full-time employment status.
Although we checked for the influence of time lag, reporting date differences may still account for some of the mismatches, or an alternative explanation could be that the drug file in the electronic medical records had not been updated.
The parameters age, fixator wearing time, healing index, usage of one or two TENs were in nonparametric Mann–Whitney-U test checked for their influence of getting a fracture.
Bearing in mind that repetitive DNA sequences comprise a considerable proportion of the human genome, we checked for an influence of these repeats on OP group size and GO-term enrichment by employing the RepeatMasker tool (Smit, AFA, Hubley, R & Green, P. RepeatMasker Open-3.0 1996–2010 unpublished data < http://www.repeatmasker.org>) on segments with GC = 42 47%.
Second, if a pollutant was associated with BMI, we then checked for a possible influence on birth weight or length to assess whether the influence of the pollutant on childhood growth already started from birth.
Independent variables were checked for non-linear influence on length of stay using locally weighted regressions and partial residual plots.
A posteriori, we checked for the systematic influence of any single sample on the results of PSEA by inspecting the distributions of Cook's distance [ 39] for all genes whose expression could be successfully deconvoluted (see below).
We also checked for the potential influence of sex, age and disease severity (CD4+ T cell count) on the effect of administration format and included interaction terms into the regression models to test for effect modification.
In order to check for the influence of specific economic sub-sectors over time we also use the PCPG.
