A verified certificate obviously does not have the same cachet as a university degree, but Coursera's agreement with the American Council on Education (ACE) to evaluate a subset of courses to see if students can use them to qualify for credits toward a degree is an important step as the company seeks to radically redefine higher education.
Researchers are encouraged to evaluate a subset of primer pairs and send feedback regarding their utility to the GrainGenes [ 20] database for posting.
This procedure is an iterative search-and-evaluate process, using a specific classification algorithm to evaluate a subset of SNPs (relative to the full set of 50 SNPs) searched [ 14].
When P is set to 100%, the relaxed clustering algorithm will behave similarly to the existing greedy algorithm in PartitionFinder [ 2], and evaluate all possible subset pairs at each iteration of the algorithm.
Because some genes may be rapidly evolving in all nematode lineages we evaluated a subset of the trees where the difference in branch lengths between C. briggsae and C. elegans were less than one standard deviation from the mean but which had significantly different branch lengths in the two Ancylostoma species.
This evaluation step was executed by two independently working curators, each evaluating a subset of the data.
These two approaches were combined by using the seven dimensions to evaluate each of the 102 cases (6 to 7 researchers evaluated a subset of the cases, resulting in 3 to 4 evaluations for each case).
The forward feature selection procedure (Kohavia et al., 1997) starts by evaluating all feature subsets, which consist of only one feature.
Later, a third reader (KB-O) evaluated a subset of the scans at a separate time point with the purpose of testing reproducibility (second observation).
Subsequently, by evaluating a subset of these candidate biomarkers by ELISA, this study validated the utility of four candidate biomarkers for distinguishing groups with mild, very mild, or no dementia (CDR 1, 0.5, 0, respectively).
