Aggregated results were normalised in order to allow for a comparative analysis of the relative importance of each impact category (Table A.6 in the online accompanying appendix).
Using venous samples for metabolite correction might be an alternative for both relative analysis and absolute quantification, but this requires further validation.
To standardize all PCR reactions for quantitative relative analysis, we prepared a single mix with PCR buffer 1×, dNTPs, MgCl2 and Taq Polymerase.
For quantitative relative analysis, 10 μL aliquots of each PCR product were separated into 1.5% agarose TAE (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) gels.
For relative analysis of individual biomarkers, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for focused comparisons to test if the levels of new and current biomarkers differ significantly between CJD+ and CJD-, and between CJD+ and AD cases.
Thus, we recorded an article that reported an absolute measure for one analysis and a relative measure for another analysis as reporting both absolute and relative measures.
To address the "file drawer problem"—that is, the bias for significant results to be more likely published and retrievable for a meta-analysis, relative to nonsignificant results the fail-safe N (Nfs) was computed.
To find further candidates for adaptation, we performed a comparative analysis for relative values in all German environments.
A multi-criteria decision approach with posterior articulation of CSC preferences for relative risk analysis, using a few parameters for security, privacy and quality of service, allowing to to quickly and reliably compare multiple CSPs.
The RR itself and its lower and upper 95% confidence limits (LCL and UCL) are always recorded, with the odds ratio chosen if available for a prevalence analysis and the relative risk (or hazard ratio if provided) for an incidence analysis.
