Size and shape of the UM3 occlusal surface was quantified in successive samples of a bank vole population.
More recently it has been applied to the early detection of disease outbreaks [20] and to adverse drug events.[21], [22] The CUSUM, a type of control chart, detects sudden changes in the mean value of a quantity of interest and provides estimates of the timing and magnitude of change.[23] Specifically, the analysis calculates the cumulative sum of deviations from a set value in successive samples.
Animals were selected at random for Bd testing, so representation of the same marked individuals in successive samples occurred by chance.
Their mRNA levels did not notably increase until September, but their expression then continued to increase in successive samples, including the last sample from which RNA could be prepared, collected on September 21.
A two-factor repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to analyze time effect (changes occurring in successive samples of the test), visit effect (after vs. before the lifestyle intervention), and time × visit interaction in OGTT and OLTT tests.
The Gamma prior (labelled Γ) on σ−2 is weakly informative for small variance [ 54], depending on the value of ε, but its conjugacy with the multivariate normal seems to help in avoiding the problem of autocorrelation in successive samples from the Markov chain Monte Carlo.
An "intrinsic" gene list consisting of 534 genes represented by 552 clones, was previously selected based on their low variation in expression in successive samples from the same patient's tumor and at the same time, high degree of variation among tumors from different patients [ 10].
This time equates to resistance ratios in the field population versus the susceptible (laboratory raised) strain of 54- fold, 141-fold, and 730-fold in the 3 successive sampling periods.
In addition, prolonged presence of WUPyV (in >2 successive samples, equal to >2 weeks) was detected in 3 children (1, 2, and 6).
