The time-lapse variables were first tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test first and then analyzed by the Mann–Whitney test since the majority of the variables were normally distributed.
In patients prone to VVS, the initial response consisting of vasoconstriction and reflex tachycardia elicits the vasovagal response and reproduces the clinical syncope after a variable lapse of time.
This Bayesian procedure was not used in the other experiments because, in our experience, the approach does not provide reliable estimates of threshold in psychophysically-inexperienced subjects (such as those tested in Experiments 2 to 6), probably because these subjects have high and variable lapse rates.
None of the five related statement displayed any statistical significance in a Kruskall Wallis H test with low (1 3), medium (4 7), and high (8 10) marks for the attention lapse factor as a categorical variable.
We used a Bayesian adaptive procedure [41] to estimate the psychometric functions relating object orientation to perceived stability for each object, with threshold and slope as parameters of interest and symmetrical lapse rate as a nuisance variable.
Here we develop and apply an approach for downscaling RCM output using local topographic lapse rates (empirically-estimated spatially and seasonally variable changes in climate variables with elevation).
We applied this model using the vertical temperature records to solve a system of three equations containing three unknown variables: ground-surface temperature (T 0 ), lapse rate [A = H/(0.4pc p u* ], and vegetation height (h).
The main dependent variable in this study was the lapse of time in days to a first risky driving event or a crash following exposure to intervention.
This creates a time lapse in addition to the inadequate relationship established among the predictor variables.
Our objective was to test the use of time-lapse EMI surveys to separate the influences of 'static' soil variables, e.g. texture/mineralogy, from 'dynamic', e.g. changes in soil moisture.
The same data correction for altitude as used by [28] was applied to obtain air temperature and pressure with altitude assuming a moist adiabatic lapse rate of 0.005 Km-1, and humidity calculated from the corrected variables.
