These instruments are analysed in the following sections.
Five different instruments were analysed in this study.
The correlations between items in the instrument were analysed by factor analysis and seemed to fit with the clinical features of breast cancer.
The quantitative validity of the DESDE-LTC instrument was analysed using a database comprising 1339 services (BSICs), assessed by the core group.
For the determination of the absolute copy numbers of the targets, serial dilutions of cloned plasmid standards with known concentration (determined photometrically using the Nanodrop instrument) were analysed on the same plate as the test samples.
After the concept elicitation interview data is analysed, a preliminary instrument is developed.
The economic impact of protection instruments can be analysed using the partial equilibrium method which can evaluate the impact of shocks such as changes in government policies on the prices and quantities produced, consumed and traded of a commodity.
Instrument sensitivity was analysed by: (1) plotting utility scores for the instruments against one another; (2) correlating utility scores and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)); and (3) using Tukey's procedure.
Where appropriate, stained sections were scanned at 20× magnification using Aperio ScanScope CS instrument and were analysed in Spectrum (Aperio Vista, CA, USA).
The effect of calibration on random variation caused by inter-instrument variability was analysed by comparing characteristics of raw and calibrated data.
