Although preceding studies based their conclusions on tasks with strictly discrete reporting alternatives (e.g., "Did the object change or not?"), in continuous-report tasks participants reproduce from memory a specific feature of an object using an analog scale (e.g., Bays, Catalao, & Husain, 2009; Wilken & Ma, 2004; Zhang & Luck, 2008).
Characterization of pain flares during the acute LBP episode was done by determining the prevalence of individuals who reported at least one flare, the number of discrete 'flares' reported by study participants, and the prevalence of flares of different durations.
Table 1 summarizes the various smoothing techniques used to estimate functions from the discrete observations reported in the reviewed literature.
Thus, although some clusters could be considered as discrete groups as reported for the Synechococcus phages (Deng et al., 2014 this is far from being a universal or characteristic feature of groups of related phages.
For continuous variables, mean and standard deviations (in parentheses) are reported; for discrete variables, percentages are reported.
1 See, for instance, Avato et al. (2010). 2 See Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) for the cited decomposition. 3 The discrete variable RFINLOC reports whether the sample member remained at the same address as the year before and assigns different codes depending on the different, alternative detected status.
The motion sensor reports discrete events of motion detected in its field of view using Passive Infrared (PIR) technology.
On the other hand, Yukutake et al. (2017) reported discrete impulsive infrasonic waves coincident with the increase in the volcanic tremor amplitude.
Discrete data were reported as absolute numbers and percentages.
For discrete data, we reported proportions.
