A sensitivity analysis was conducted by calculating the mean of the outcome measures at each time point using all available measurements and comparing with those using completers only, and this made very little difference.
Table 6 shows the basic statistics for the bias in real income measures, at each income level, when comparing the base year with the two following periods.
The change of the outcome measures at each time point versus the baseline value was compared using a one-way ANOVA plus not parametric Wilcoxon test (Tx vs T0).
If the dimension of the network increases, also computational times increase because of the time needed by the DTA simulator to generate simulated values of measures at each iteration.
Correlation analyses were first performed between the PM2.5 concentration and all metrics by month, season, and the entire period to explore the importance of different structural measures at each scale (i.e., different radius).
However, to obtain a comparable measure of income over time, it is necessary to deflate the nominal measures at each specific moment by a price series, most commonly the consumer price index (CPI).
We then compared the ratios between the two groups of patient (MT-Group and Med-Group), for each of these 2 additional measures, at each time-point using Chi-Squared analyses.
In order to check that heterozygosity was statistically independent between loci, Spearman rank correlations were performed between heterozygosity measures at each locus.
The variability for duplicate measures at each dilution was as great as the variability among the different dilutions (in the presence of sufficient target DNA).
Our outcome variables are the same six CPP measures of children's neurocognitive development that the earlier study examined [10], two measures at each follow-up age: 8 mo, 4 y, and 7 y.
Group mean γ power measures at each two minute time point were related with the corresponding group mean locomotor activity, and Spearman's correlation coefficients (r) were then calculated for each time window for each drug.
