To obtain p-values of the KWII, the null distribution of the KWII of each combination was obtained from 5000 random permutations of the QT values for each simulated data set.
For the high density lipoprotein and atherosclerosis and ultra-violet light induced immunosuppression datasets and the first replicate of the GAW15 Data set, the null distribution of the KWII of each combination was obtained from 5000 random permutations of the QT values.
Data for 2012 on mortality (deaths and Years of Life Lost (YLL)), morbidity (Years Lived with Disability (YLD)), and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost (a combination of YLL and YLD) were obtained from the WHO [ 2].
Pooled ORs were obtained from combination of single study by heterozygote comparison (C1C2 vs. C1C1), homozygote comparison (C2C2 vs C1C1), dominant model (C1C2 + C2C2 vs C1C1), recessive model (C2C2 vs C1C2 + C1C1) and allelic model (C2 vs C1), respectively.
The best values for R-squared were obtained from a combination of VT/AP axes, and VT/ML/AP axes (these combinations also provided the lowest estimate of error variance).
The greatest yield, root colonization and nodulation were obtained from the combination of all three treatments under irrigation.
The highest net returns of 297 and 368 US$ha−11 based on grain and oil yields, respectively, were obtained from a combination of 100 kg K ha−1 + 45 kg P ha−1.
The results showed that the optimum predicted response value for color, taste, overall acceptability and springiness were 4.9, 4.6, 4.8 and 0.96 mm, respectively, which were obtained from a combination of 0.7% P. minus, 0.5% C. longa and 0.8% Z. officinale.
Unit costs were obtained from a combination of UK cost sources and costs from the literature.
Estimates of population exposures to specific pollutants were obtained from a combination of local data, modeled estimates, and pertinent literature.
