The eliminated values exceeded the RIs given elsewhere [ 5].
We used a log transformation of our data, first adding a constant value of 1 to the dysfunction score to eliminate values equal to zero.
Time series data were first filtered to eliminate values that exceeded the initial carrying capacity by more than 10% (see Figs. 5 and 6).
Not only is eliminating values from the scientific method – in general and the EBM process in particular – impossible, but in trying to do so, researchers may introduce new (mostly covert and unacknowledged) biases.
Backwards elimination, with a p-to-eliminate value of >0.05, will select covariates included in the models.
However, our sample size is expected to be large and consequently we will use a p-to-eliminate value of >0.05.
The F.D.I.C. strategy also assumes that global regulators will happily cooperate as the U.S. government takes over a huge bank and eliminates the value of all its shares, including those owned by foreigners.
That is why a maximizing function was chosen to eliminate negative values.
Gamma distributions with logarithmic link functions were used for response variables with percent groundcover plus one, thus eliminating zero values.
The data also needs to have 100 added to eliminate negative values and also scaled by a factor of 104.
