In order to determine whether the two cohorts responded differently to survey items, we compared mean responses to the 35 matrix items at each of the three administrations of the survey (i.e. MS1 at beginning of AY2010 compared with MS2 at beginning of AY2010, etc).. Out of the 105 total comparisons, there were statistically significant differences in 28 group mean responses.
The key features of the approach include the use of a tighter bounding technique (reciprocally convex combination lemma) and the introduction of uncorrelated augmented matrix items into the Lyapunov functional.
A total of N = 189 subjects took two tests of matrix items that were automatically generated according to a strict construction rationale.
We also examined a polychoric correlation matrix, including all items, to ensure they correlated with at least two other survey items and had potential to contribute to at least one survey scale.
In order to obtain the rotated factor matrix, items only with factor loading of 0.6 and above were considered as valid items.
Afterward, the 34 young adults who participated in dual N-back training for 12 weeks correctly answered approximately one extra matrix item, while those who trained for 17 weeks were able to answer about three more correctly.

In [13], the problem of robust stability of uncertain systems with interval time-varying delay was considered by constructing a Lyapunov functional with uncorrelated augmented matrix items and a tighter bounding technology.
Second, we examined a polychoric correlation matrix of all remaining items to identify items with low interitem correlations.
We generated an item-level correlation matrix of CHU9D and SDQ items to look for correlations between items, particularly those that were conceptually related.
SEM was used on the covariance matrix of the 20 questionnaire items to evaluate the goodness of fit of the theoretical model; and then, in an exploratory manner corrected for specification errors until a model that fit the data well was achieved.
