Birth weight was also analysed after distribution into five categories.
In the case of a 4-point Likert scale, three thresholds divide the latent liability distribution into four categories.
In the present paper, the scores were recoded in such a way that three thresholds divide the latent liability distribution into four categories, of about equal size.
For the genetic analyses, the items of each subscale were summed, and the sum-score was recoded so that three thresholds divide the latent liability distribution into four categories.
In the optimized objective function, all existing equipment in the distribution network is divided into three categories medium-voltage, low-voltage, and substation equipment and the imposed cost on the distribution company is modeled using the Markov process.
Root hair distribution can be grouped into three categories in angiosperms (Datta et al., 2011).
After constructing the spatial distributions of the binding sites for various TFs, I found that these spatial distributions could be divided into three categories (see Fig. 4): 49 TFs in the first category, 27 TFs in the second category and 41 TFs in the third category (see Supplementary Table 1 for the detailed list of the TFs in each category).
As applied in the field of health care ethics by Gillon, obligations of justice were subdivided into three categories: fair distribution of scarce resources (distributive justice), respect for people's rights (rights-based justice) and respect for morally acceptable laws (legal justice) [ 33].
A gamma distribution split into four categories was used for consideration of the rate heterogeneity among sites.
The distribution of the eGFR was divided into three categories: less than 60 (moderately decreased eGFR, n = 93), 60-89 (mildecreasedaseGFRGFR, n = 106) and at least 90 ml/minormal m2 (normal eGFR, n = 22).
Radiologic response to IP chemotherapy was reported in a series of 11 ovarian carcinoma patients stratified into three categories by distribution of intraperitoneal Tc-99m and was suggestive of better response in patients with free-flowing infusate than in those with loculation, but overall survival was not reported.
