First, the experimental design specifications as well as research questions are presented.
The database allows the control of experimental design and specification of comparisons and analyses to be performed.
Topics include sampling, experimental design, regression analysis, specification testing, dimension reduction, categorical data analysis, classification and clustering.
Our experimental design follows the specifications of Visscher et al. [30] in permitting the dissociation of block and event-related fMRI activity (using alternating blocks of task and rest, as well as jittered trials within each task block); using event-related regressors that are estimated (using delta or FIR functions) rather than assumed via a model of the hemodynamic response function.
Moreover, a suggestion for experimental design is provided for the specification of u(j ), (j = 1, ⋯, k) to obtain k distinct data sets which will be used for parameter estimation.
Independent component analysis provides a method to identify distinct clusters of functional activation, completely independent of any prior specification of the experimental design or any region of interest.
Optimum design specification is testified by the experimental result.
The calculation of the axial points, specification of the design, and randomization of the experimental design was done using Design-Expert 8.0 (Stat-Ease, Minneapolis, MN, USA), but was consistent with the methodology described by Meyers, Montgomery, and Cook [ 13].
This experimental design affords a dynamic appreciation of cellular and molecular mechanisms employed in lineage specification.
Also tested where two different model specifications to account for the structured heterogeneity arising from the repeated measures experimental design.
