Then, to show the characteristics of seasonality of rainfall exhibited by each cluster, composite analyses were applied to the pentad rainfall for the years classified in each cluster.
To show the key areas and periods in the low-level atmospheric circulation related to the interannual variability in the seasonal march of rainfall, correlation and composite analyses were primarily used.
Some specimens were analyzed individually to determine variance within the population, whereas composite analyses were conducted to determine As concentrations from a larger sample at reduced cost.
The global PROQOL-HIV score, as used in analyses, is a composite measure based on 38-items, comprising eight sub-scales (factors) that encompass the following domains: Physical health and symptoms (PHS), emotional distress (ED), health concerns (HC), body change (BC), intimate relationships (IR), social relationships (SR), stigma (ST).
The dichotomous outcome used for the clinical subsample logistic regression analyses was a composite PTSD diagnosis that comprised the MISS-PTSD[ 60], the Keane MMPI-PTSD sub-scale [ 65], and a semi-structured diagnostic interview based on FORM NP-V of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) [ 50, 51, 83].
Microstructures of these composites were examined and thermal analyses were carried out.
The necessity of including bundle waviness in models when bidirectional NCF composites are analysed is demonstrated by FEM stress analysis and by experimental data showing differences in transverse cracking pattern due to bundle waviness.
Furthermore, the utility of such composite genome sequences for population genomic analyses is very limited.
QTL analyses were based on Composite Interval Mapping (CIM) with a multiple regression approach [ 23].
