Amongst the 4 frequency bands (ν1, ν2, ν3 and ν4) previously identified for discriminant analyses, only frequency band ν1 provided an acceptable r value of 0.97.
Peak coordinates of regions that showed connectivity with the PCC were identified for all analyses using cluster reports with the following thresholds: cluster size = 80 voxels (0.64 ml), minimum distance between peaks = 1 cm, and a BSR equivalent to a two-tailed p value of 0.001 (i.e., BSR = 3.3).
Two cohorts were identified for the analyses in this study.
Two patient populations were identified for statistical analyses.
Axenic cultures have been established, conditions for sexual propagation and nucleic acid extraction have been optimised, and two strains with sufficient genetic divergence have been identified for genetic analyses.
Around 550 protein spots identified for quantitative analyses of differentially regulated proteins responsive to A. falvus attack, and the number of protein spots was more than that in earlier reports by Liang et al (2006b) [ 29] and Kottapalli et al (2008) [ 30].
A number of promising candidate genes were identified for functional analyses, which will be the subject of further investigation in this species and also used in model-hopping experiments in more tractable and economically important model aquaculture species, such as Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus edulis.
Although the variation of error values caused different assignments, any clear improvement in the assignment results was not identified for the different analyses (Fig. 1).
Patients were identified for disease-specific analyses based on claims for outpatient, emergency room, or inpatient services during the first 12 months of the study.
