However, as the absolute values are dependent on the applied load, it is preferred to make comparisons based on normalized quantities, like the elastic index η ΙΤ which is independent of load, [25].
The prediction results from all participated methods have been released online (http://predictioncenter.org/download_area/CASP9/server_predictions/), allowing us to make comparisons based on individual predictions.
This would allow us to make comparisons based on before (absence), during (implementation) and after (presence).
We have taken a direct and pragmatic approach to analyzing the importance of passive forces in generating unimpeded movements: we measured leg movements directly and made comparisons based on movement trajectories, amplitudes, and velocities.
Although we initially sampled from public and private hospitals, assuming patients would be either 'private' or 'public' patients, we found that most participants had experiences of both settings, either as patients or carers, and could thus make comparisons based on experiential knowledge rather than conjecture.
Many of the health workers interviewed, both in the public and in the church-run sectors, had work experience from health facilities with a different type of ownership and were thus in a position to make comparisons based on their own experiences.
This measure of similarity is used to rank the available recording sites for selection and as this was primarily a study in limited lead mapping the objective was to make comparison based on the accuracy of spatial distributions.
For example, while some readers may assume that chiropractic care consisted primarily of guideline-endorsed therapies such as SMT, patient education, and supervised exercise, such care could also have been provided by medical physicians, PTs, or other HCPs, making comparisons difficult based on the type of HCP seen.
Making obvious comparisons based on gender and stuff is stupid.
