Unlike BALBOA we now employ dataset cross-referencing at this stage to discover which ORF groups are maintained across multiple independent data views.
An overview of the employed datasets is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Dataset overview.
The experimental results and the drawn conclusions are in line for all four employed datasets.
The first set of experiments (combination1) employed datasets (i) & (ii) while the second set of experiments (combination2) employed (iii) & (iv).
Mesh grid phase: A total of n equidistant scan lines (n=100 yields reasonable results for the employed datasets) are intersected with binary noise mask N locating 0-1 and 1-0 crossings.
In order to investigate whether the employed datasets are sufficiently large for the differences in performance observed in Table 3 to be statistically significant, a statistical significance test is used.
For the reference-style data, we again employed datasets validated by third-party multilateral agencies [ 30, 31].
For the reference-style data underlying the analysis (e.g., country population size data, GDP deflators), we employed datasets validated by third-party multilateral agencies [ 30, 31].
Given the nationally-representative nature of the employed datasets and the diverse study population, interpretation of these results can be informative in the policy setting and for guiding further investigation.
This was recently presented for the IMEx Consortium member databases [ 10] and validated in the present study from the substantially small number, i.e. eight, of common references between the five employed datasets.
