This number is chosen for consistency with the dimensionality of the standard Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature set used for speaker recognition.
This set of sequences is similar to the one used in a study of tuatara class I genes by Miller et al. [22] as well as the recent study of iguanine class Ia loci [16], and was chosen for consistency.
The variable coding schemes were chosen for consistency with previous CBCS publications [ 4].
This transformation was chosen for consistency with previous multivariate analyses of these data [ 4].
A region 2,000 bp either side of the TSS was chosen for consistency with previous studies [ 15– 19] 19].
ANCOVA was the prespecified method in the protocol and was chosen for consistency with the analyses of other continuous variables.
This definition was chosen for consistency with PA for health guidance, and the literature on the effectiveness and risks for disease conditions.
This approach was chosen for consistency with earlier modeling studies on BCG, [ 10, 11] and because current evidence suggests BCG protection lasts perhaps 10 15 years [ 19, 63].
The bandpass filter was chosen for consistency with previous studies, which sought to maximize the dependency of rsBOLD signal fluctuations on physiological causes (Chang et al., 2009; Di et al., 2012; Glover et al., 2000; Kannurpatti and Biswal, 2008).
The 500-m distance was chosen for consistency with previous studies (Reynolds et al. 2001, 2004), but we also estimated associations with traffic density using 300-m and 1,000-m 1,000-m.
