Classical clustering techniques are used to determine groups of pixels, as well as their likelihood to form a single object.
Alternatively, in a few cases, a neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed to determine groups of isoforms.
In the first step, clustalw alignments were used to determine groups of mature microRNAs with pairwise identities in excess of 70%.
We also found that the regulatory strength matrix can be clustered to determine groups of genes which are not only co-expressed, but also co-regulated.
With the resulting scales and items an exploratory factor analysis was made to determine grouping of the information obtained from patients self-reports.
A better understanding of the risk factors would help to determine groups of patients who would be more likely to have MDR-TB and thus prioritize the use of rapid diagnostic methods for the identification and determination of drug resistance.
By identifying background or organisational factors associated with patient satisfaction, it will be possible to determine groups of patients in need of additional attention, as well as areas for improvement.
One-way ANOVA was performed with different P-values to determine groups of probes with the same hybridisation pattern between replicates and giving the best discrimination of the species and subspecies.
An outnumbered but determined group of Democrats and some Republicans tried to buck the bipartisan sentiment to give Mr. Bush broad discretion to initiate military operations against Saddam Hussein.
