Therefore, we attempt to transform the above maximum problem with multiple variables into a single variable optimization problem.
Essentially, the approach converts a multivariable problem into a single variable problem and thereby reduces the computational load.
This approach is aimed at merging all secondary data into a single variable, then implementing ICCK with that single variable.
Mixing time and energy dissipation were successfully combined into a single variable, mixing energy, which can be used to scale-up mixing conditions.
A composite index combining symptomatic and structural efficacy variables, adverse events, costs, and the requirement for surgery into a single variable would be useful.
Substances were collapsed into a single variable to eliminate null values (i.e., participants only had to report using one of the above to meet inclusion criteria) and to account for considerable heterogeneity between substance classes.
Finally, we combined all sexually selected traits into a single variable (henceforth sexual selection) using PPCA.
Sexual dichromatism and shape dimorphism were also combined into a single variable (henceforth sexual dimorphism) using PPCA.
LLIN ownership and bed net treatment was merged into a single variable as 'treated bed net or LLIN ownership' and analyzed.
The measure of overall variance compresses data from the expression levels of 54,675 probe sets covering approximately 47,000 unique transcripts including 38,500 human genes on the Affymetrix Human HG-U133 Array into a single variable.
If the separate male and female variables were highly correlated and/or led to multicollinearity, then these variables were either combined into a single variable encompassing both sexes, or one of the variables (male or female) was dropped.
