Fig. 2 shows the 24 h profile of plasma cortisol utilizing our infusion paradigm under dexamethasone suppression (for practical reasons, timing of pulses was not synchronized to chronological time).
Chronological time is gone.
Although the chronological time to start of treatment was shorter in RENAL compared to ATN (2.1 versus 6.7 days), the BUN concentration at the start of therapy (another surrogate for timing) was nearly identical.
14 15 Developmental age is assumed to be linearly related to chronological age, and the timing (or tempo) and the rate (or velocity) of maturation are subject-specific random effects.
To account for their timing and chronological order [ 26], each RIFLE class and organ failure were entered into the Fine and Gray model as time-dependent variables (in other words, time to organ failure and changes over time were implicitly considered).
Between its introduction and conclusion, which looks towards the future, the chapters on the various ethnic landscapes are arranged roughly in chronological order, such that the timing of the earliest significant surviving landscape contribution determines the order the groups will be viewed.
To determine the chronological effect of TCDD, the timing and therefore the period of the main four stages of plant development including germination, leaves formation, flowering and siliques ripening were measured in the presence or absence of TCDD.
Actually, logistic regression has been reported to cause loss of information because it yields a time-independent probability of dying and ignores the timing of events and their chronological order [ 27, 28].
Proxy records from recently accumulated peats provide valuable information about past environmental change, but they depend on high quality chronological information to calculate rates and timing of change.
When all panels are shown in the proper sequence, e.g. in a chronological order of seasons, synchronization of peak timing with respect to the average can be visualized clearly, some seasons coming earlier and some later than the average.
Briefly, logistic regression analysis ignores the timing of events and their chronological order, potentially leading to an overestimation of the association between a specific risk factor (for example, nosocomial pneumonia) and mortality [ 15].
