Continuous data were evaluated for normal distribution and tested for significance with the Student t test.
NASS data were evaluated for the years 1996 2002, and CIREN from 1996 to 2003.
Data were evaluated for Gaussian distribution and transformed when necessary.
The echocardiogram data were evaluated for change in specialist referral rate.
Survival data were evaluated for patients treated with PC before and after 2003.
Data were evaluated for normal distribution by Kolmogorov Smirnov test, and non-parametric tests were applied if required.
The resulting data were evaluated for statistical significance of the rate of infection using Chi-square test.
Data were evaluated for relationships among abdominal pressure, PEEP, and position using three-way analysis of variance and a linear mixed model with Tukey adjustment.
For statistical analysis, data were evaluated for normality, equal variance and sphericity, and analyzed by one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance with multiple dependent measures (MANOVA).
By means of model simulation runs and statistical analysis, the climate data were evaluated for the abundance of adverse environmental conditions during critical development stages, i.e. the stages of early crop development, anthesis, sowing and harvest.
Histomorphometric data were evaluated for statistical differences using the software package Attestat Program, version 9.3.1 (developed by I. P. Gaidyshev, Certificate of Rospatent official registration No. 2002611109) using the unpaired t test, Mann–Whitney U test and Barnard test, designed for small samples (n1, n2 ≥ 3).
