Statistical differences between environmental variables and abundance of plankton at the two sites were tested with the Wilcoxon method for paired samples (Zar 1999).
For any gas that could not be detected in a sample, the level was set to zero Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a non-parametric method for paired data, was used to compare the difference between Broth only and Broth + E. coli, between Blood only and Blood + E. coli, between Broth + E. coli and Blood + E. coli, and between Broth only and Blood only.
The purpose of this study was threefold: to translate and culturally adapt the RAND-36 into Swedish; to evaluate its reliability and responsiveness using Svensson's method for paired ordered categorical data; and to assess the usability of an electronic version of the questionnaire.
Effect sizes were calculated using the Cohen method for paired samples [ 34].
Effect sizes were calculated using the Cohen method for paired samples.
Effect size ("d") was calculated by using the method for paired samples: mean baseline scores minus mean follow-up scores, divided by the pooled standard deviation.
31 Using statistical methods for paired data we compared continuous and categorical variables in the matched pairs.
Svensson's method is therefore, besides being a method developed for paired ordinal data, also an important and novel tool for evaluating individual response to treatment or interventions, thus informing individualized care.
Other approaches to alignment graph partitioning may also lead to improvements in the accuracy of MSARC, for example a better method of pairing residues for multilevel coarsening than the currently used naive consecutive neighbors merging.
This paper presents a novel method for pair-wise range image registration, a backbone task in world modeling, parts inspection and manufacture, object recognition, pose estimation, robotic navigation, and reverse engineering.
