To calculate the probability that a minimal polynomial is a factor of a received codeword, we adopt some algorithms and ideas introduced in soft-decision-based decoding methods and blind-frame-synchronization approaches for RS and BCH codes in the literatures.
Because of this, we could not test randomization methods and blinding of participants, nor estimate the effect of the intervention on the primary outcome.
Throughout the follow-up period, all tracing and case ascertainment procedures were implemented concurrently, with the same methods, and blinded of the exposure status of the subject for both the index and the reference population.
Incompleteness of reporting issues such as failure to explain randomization methods and blinding raises the likelihood of bias in the studies, resulting in lower grades of quality of evidence.
Sample size measures were only reported in one paper [ 27], and one or more of the following elements were only poorly described: recruitment, allocation concealment method and blinding of assessor.
This was a good study with clearly stated outcome and descriptions of randomisations, methods and double blinding.
The following terms will be used: acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, electroacupuncture, fire needling, elongated needle, intradermal needling, dry needling, erectile dysfunction, impotence, erection failure, male sexual dysfunction, randomised controlled trials, double-blind method and single-blind method (table 1 details of the search strategy for EMBASE).
Options for classification using machine learning methods include: unsupervised methods such as clustering and blind signal separation, or supervised methods such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines, nearest neighbor methods, Naive Bayes, decision trees, among others [ 6].
The quality criteria that were most rarely fulfilled were power calculation results, replication, method description, and blinding of clinical status.

Also, it seems promising to consider more essential combinations of ICA- and AV coherency-based methods to jointly gain benefits of both informed and blind methods.
