A simple approach for evaluating proximity is to compute the average of the difference of ratings for each movie returned by Eq. 8, as shown in Eq. 9. frac{sum_{text{textsc{SimilaritySet}}left text{AID}, text{BID}right)} {lverttext{RatingA} - text{RatingB}rvert}}{mathcal{C}left text{textsc{SimilaritySet}}left text{AID}, text{BID}right)right)} (9).
For within-group differences of overall ratings (R1T1 versus R1T2) the Wilcoxon signed rank test was applied.
The effect sizes (r) of gender differences of teacher ratings on total difficulties and on hyperactivity/inattention and prosocial behavior subscale scores were small (0.24-0.31), altheugh the rest were negligible (Table 2).
A comparison of net ONB effects on pain ratings (difference of pain ratings before and after ONB) between the subgroups yielded no significant results in unpaired t tests: trigeminal neuralgia versus trigeminal neuropathic pain p = 0.312; trigeminal neuralgia versus persistent idiopathic facial pain: p = 0.094; trigeminal neuropathic pain versus persistent idiopathic facial pain: p = 0.406).
Fourth, the sizes of differences between ratings of the inner urban and suburban route environments, expressed as sex-neutral means, generally corresponded reasonably well between the advertisement- and street-recruited participants.
The sizes of differences between ratings of the inner urban and suburban route environments for the advertisement- and the street-recruited participants are shown in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.
Analyses of differences between ratings of inner urban and suburban route environments (Both I&S, Only I and Only S) and between groups (Both I&S and Only I or Only S) were performed using paired or independent t-tests.
The sizes of differences in ratings of inner urban and suburban route environments between the experts and the advertisement-recruited men and women, respectively, matched reasonably well (see Figures 2 and 3, and Table 2 for the values of the advertisement-recruited participants).
We used a two-way random effects model based on absolute agreement as a suitable, conservative estimate of test retest reliability, as this type of ICC accounts for the systematic differences among levels of ratings.
