The shape and scale parameters of the gamma distribution were set equal to each other to explore variances ranging from 0.06 to 3.8 while maintaining the same mean.
The current study explored variance within dog breeds/types or breed groups.
However some genes with high signal may be significant despite showing relative low variance, and for these reasons it is better to apply combined filters that explore the variance, but also consider the intensity of the probes [15].
To explore the variance according to different communication ranges, we choose six communication ranges from 100 to 600 m.
Slope analysis was used to further explore temporal variance in the two tasks.
To explore the variance heterogeneity we performed the M Box test, which tests the homogeneity of a covariance matrix [ 29].
The purpose of this study is to examine the management of SHT by Australian general practitioners (GPs) and to explore its variance across patient characteristics and clinical practices.
We, therefore, used a special case of the linear mixed model to explore residual variance as a multiplicative linear function of the predictor variables (Harvey 1976; Guierrez 2008).
The intergroup differences in the HRQOL were examined by MANOVAs and later introduced covariates in analysis (MANCOVA) to explore the variance of its effect on the HRQOL.
A repeated-measures ANOVA was used to explore treatment variance in specific treatment beliefs across OHAs, anti-hypertensive medicines, and statins.
