For this purpose, researchers can either collapse adjacent categories with no or low case numbers or exclude the respective groups from the analysis.
The detection of DEET in field blanks as well as the contamination of reagents with isophorone prompted the authors [46] to exclude the respective values.
Because the parameter estimations for the binary post-mortem tests were highly sensitive to the prior assumptions [9] [12], [34] [38], [45], [46], we eventually excluded the respective data from the Bayesian model formulation (models 2A and 2B, Table S1).
All 720 trials of experiment 2 were classified by serially excluding the respective strategies from the most to the less precisely defined (i.e., direct search, focal search, directed search, chaining, scanning, random search, thigmotaxis; [17]).
If a person was excluded, the respective controls were excluded too.
Once primer sequence was excluded, the respective lengths of the sequences included in the study were 699 nt, 713 nt, and 685 nt.
The same evaluations were carried out using either only GO annotations or all aforementioned annotation sources (excluding the respective annotation source of the benchmark category).
In the case of chromosomal TAS, the basis for addiction could be resistance to the plasmid versions of the same TAS that allows the TAS carrying cells to exclude the respective plasmids (antiaddiction [ 25]).
We assessed the consistency of the model by comparing effect estimates derived through a meta-analysis including only direct comparisons between pairs of treatments, with the indirect effect estimates derived through a network-meta analysis excluding the respective direct comparison.
To correct for copy number state of the autosomes, we considered only diploid medulloblastoma genomes with at most six copy number aberrant chromosomes and excluded the respective chromosomes per case; 49/113 cases fulfilled these criteria.
