This strategy eliminates values that may skew the true steady-state values due to variations between the beginning and the end of a test.
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).
This was done by firstly eliminating any values over 2000 ms. Next, means and standard deviations were calculated for each individual for each block and values were eliminated which lay outside three standard deviations for each individual.
Gamma distributions with logarithmic link functions were used for response variables with percent groundcover plus one, thus eliminating zero values.
We explored the possibility to reduce the variability eliminating outlier values.
The first error term is excluded from analysis by eliminating expression values at or below background levels.
During data extraction, a software program performed a final check by eliminating aberrant values and suppressing duplications.
After eliminating duplicate values, we used these random numbers to include persons with corresponding identification numbers in NHIRD.
