Our proposed heuristic method uses the median joining principle of iteratively identifying Steiner nodes (known as median nodes) that allow one to more parsimoniously link some triplet of nodes, using the generalized Hanan theorem to enumerate possible medians.
B-Score method uses the median polish procedure to remove the row/column biases in a plate.
Briefly, this method uses the median value of all normalized LRR probe intensities within a CNV to assess copy number.
Time-to-event data (median follow-up 65 months, range 1 96 months) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and summarized using medians, and 95%% confidence intervals, and survival curves for different BMI groups were compared using log-rank tests.
As quantification method we used median polish.
The simulated spectral data were mean centered and scaled to unit variance prior to normalization by the probabilistic quotient normalization (PQN) method using the median spectrum from the whole data set as a reference.
By contrast, the modified method using the median rather the mean value had a better predictive value (P=0.068) but did not allow the distinction in terms of the overall survival between patients with 'major' and 'minor' responses.
Normally distributed data were analyzed using parametric methods (mean, standard deviation, t-test, Pearson correlation), otherwise nonparametric methods were used (median, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, Mann Whitney t-test and Spearman rank correlation).
The median-joining method uses a maximum parsimony approach to search for all the shortest phylogenetic trees for a given data set [ 92].
Due to lack of available methods to use median values, the authors of this important review, decided not to use these papers in their meta-analysis.
