Those last three scoring methods essentially provided the same sample-level mean and standard deviation scores when compared with each other and across all data treatments, whereas maximum score was affected more by the applied data treatments.
The GCI method essentially provides a way to compute the relative risks of an individual as compared to an individual with non-risk alleles at each of the disease-associated marker.

All these essentially provide physicians with a systematic method of formulating a clinical question and then critically evaluating the literature to answer the question posed.
"The technique essentially provides a new method of power generation," says Pulickel Ajayan, a materials engineering professor at Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute.
