Backward elimination approach was used to determine independent risk factors.
The non-significant student-level variable with the highest p value was first excluded using the backward elimination approach.
Christopher Lowe, a marine biologist at California State University, Long Beach, is impressed by the process of elimination approach the authors took to reach their conclusion.
In the multivariate regression analyses, backward elimination approach was used to determine independent risk factors for HRQoL including self-reported general health.
In order to select the best feature set for this entity recognition task, we followed an iterative elimination approach, starting with the full feature set defined above and using the development data to evaluate models trained on the training data.
Cox proportional hazards regression was conducted to examine associations with death using the backward elimination approach [37], after adjustment for the APACHE II score, with a two-sided alpha value of 0.05.
A statistical technique based on the evaluation of the rank and the condition number of the observation matrix followed by the backward elimination approach was used for selecting the most important variables of the models.
Since, the classifier developed using PBL-McRBFN is efficient, we propose recursive feature elimination approach (called PBL-McRBFN-RFE) to identify most relevant brain regions responsible for PD prediction.
To assess whether any characteristics which displayed statistical significance in univariate analysis were independently associated with improved outcomes, we combined any co-variates with a p value of ≤0.2 in a multivariable model and used a stepwise backwards elimination approach to remove those which did not contribute significantly to the model.
Using a backwards elimination approach to avoid underfitting the models, all variables were initially added to the models.
