Majors with higher mean NCEE scores had higher mean GPAs, and higher GPAs were observed among those individuals with higher NCEE scores after controlling for major-level characteristics.
Individual socio-demographic characteristics and major-level characteristics should also be taken into account to better understand and improve students' academic performance.
A hierarchical linear model was fitted to regress first-year GPA on a 100-point scale on NCEE score and other student-level and major-level characteristics.
Individual socio-demographic characteristics and major-level characteristics should be taken into account to understand better and improve the first-year GPA of medical students.
The hierarchical linear model (HLM) approach allows the intercept to vary by major and the analysis of major-level characteristics, resulting in more accurate parameter estimates than ordinary least square regression.
The major advantage of IPD as opposed to APD meta-analysis is the ability to study the impact of individual patient level characteristics.
The framework consists of four major levels, i.e. individual (intrapersonal), social environment (interpersonal), physical environment (community settings), macro environment, and an additional level of university characteristics.
Eleven reviews compared trial-level characteristics.
Finally, it was demonstrated that highly reproducible A-stat data are well comparable to chemostat at the level of major growth characteristics and transcriptome, hence quasi steady state data from A-stat can be considered steady state representative (Table 1; Figure S1 and Figure S3 in Additional file 1).
After controlling for the effect of major-level and individual socio-demographic characteristics, individual NCEE score (b = 1.24, p < 0.001) and academic self-concept (b = 0.28, p = 0.042) were significantly positively related to first-year GPA.
Numerical results show how the frequency levels and major modal characteristics of the original shell can be changed by the ring stiffening, and how the asymmetry due to the concentrated mass introduces beating when the structure is subjected to impact.
