Hypointense areas in patients classified as CMBs by our method were discarded if they overlapped with this artefact mask.
Hip resurfacing techniques were introduced in the 1970s with the aim of minimizing bone resection, wear, and risk of dislocation, but the method was discarded because of a high failure rate.
This involved some "concept cleaning" by the authors in which only irrelevant words that related to the common structural features of abstracts such as "conclusions" and "method" were discarded as mapping concepts.
The synthesized signals in the overlapped region between wLPT and other coding methods are discarded as given in Figure 2b,f,f.
Undesired genotypes (see section Scoring recombination for genotyping methods) were discarded, and F3 progeny were collected from remaining vials.
Both methods were discarded as constituting an unacceptable extra workload and also, in the case of the latter, for ethical reasons.
Two items on research methods were discarded because they were never applicable to the abstracts evaluated (1. whether random selection from the study population was performed; 2. if yes, which method of random selection was used).
Singly represented reads are required to have a per base-call quality of 12. Sequences more than four times overrepresented, based on the raw RRL coverage (38×, see methods) were discarded.
In brief, after an initial burn-in period (which is discarded), MCMC methods generate samples from probability distributions whose probability densities are known up to a normalizing factor.
DROP is the simplest method presented here, but since in the DROP method data are discarded, information not only on the covariate effect but also on other PK parameters is discarded, thereby qualifying on theoretical grounds as an inferior method compared to the other methods.
