This grouping method is based on the ArcGIS implementation of the Fisher-Jenks algorithm and minimizes differences between data values within classes and maximises differences between classes [ 24, 25].
The study area was divided into two sections, one to receive SER treatments designed to maximise visual differences between road categories, and a matched control area to remain untreated for purposes of comparison.
The antibodies were raised against synthetic peptides, which were designed to maximise the differences between eEF1A1 and eEF1A2.
We examined cluster memberships at different stages of the analysis and selected the four-cluster solution to best represent the data, because the cluster profiles were most interpretable, and they seemed to maximise the differences between and minimise the differences within each cluster.
Fourth, classification of female participants as low and high fertility at the luteal phase (rather than at menses or before ovulation) and at ovulation respectively, maximises differences not only between fertility levels, but also between progesterone levels during the menstrual cycle [19], [and see 20], [41].
Across various cut-off points, Youden's index maximised the differences between real-positive and false-positive subjects; thus, the optimal cut-off values predicting overall survival and progression-free survival were estimated.
People tend to opt for the maximum total reward (as you'd expect from the fair-minded citizen), but they also show a tendency to maximise the difference between the groups (what you'd expect from the prejudiced cousin).
In the present work, we set the exponents (a=2, b=1) after optimising for the exponents that maximise the difference between the median values of multiplex links (tf) and no link (na).
To maximise the prediction differences between CA and IA, we chose mixture ratios in proportion to the estimated threshold concentrations of the selected chemicals.
Profit depends on companies maximising the difference between a garment's sale price and its production cost.
