Abundant as they are, some litigators are actually stretched thin by the overlapping election disputes, including five major cases or groups of cases, along with related appeals and assorted minor actions.
To make the results comparable, two groups of cases are designed by first assuming equal stagnation magnetic induction strength and secondly assuming equal ampere-turns.
The combination of T, N, and M classifications into stage groupings is meant to facilitate a number of activities including: the estimation of prognosis and the comparison of therapeutic interventions among similar groups of cases.
Nested analysis can be seen as a 'pure mixed' method as it 'assumes interest in both the exploration of general relationships and explanations and the specific explanations of individual cases and groups of cases' (Lieberman, 2005, p. 436).
The cluster analysis was used to identify homogeneous groups of cases, in which the cases within a cluster shared similarity but were dissimilar to the cases included in other clusters.
The primary limiting factor in genetic association studies is the need to recruit large groups of cases (elite athletes in this case) to overcome the obvious barrier of large sample size for detecting genetic associations.
Ethnic groups of cases and controls were carefully matched to remove this frequent confounder.
Using neuroimaging- or autopsy-diagnosed haemorrhagic stroke as a selection criteria may have helped to maintain comparable groups of cases.
Indeed, the slopes of the decay of titers were not significantly different between the two groups of cases when using linear regression modelling (data not shown).
Further, this methodology should be more sensitive to identifying expression changes in individuals at different stages of disease that would be "washed out" by the traditional analysis of groups of cases versus controls.
We used 3% as a cut-off value because the sample sizes in our adult case-control study ranged from 110 to 375 in different ethnic groups of cases and controls.
