The goal of this report is to describe the methods implemented to measure CHD trends, the implications of including elderly individuals on MI ascertainment and trends in prior CHD among persons with incident MI.
Finally, the methods implemented to assess conservation priorities pointed out Maltese, Girgentana and, at lesser extent, Messinese and Argentata dell'Etna as the breeds of choice in the context of safeguarding programmes.
Statistical methods implemented to analyze these data have to take this selection bias into account.
In 2010 both measures were re-fielded together, with enhanced training and field methods implemented to decrease rater variability while maintaining psychometric properties.
However, variance is not distributed normally in our tasks, so we describe below methods implemented to compare age effects across task and serial position, i.e. interactions.
There are several methods implemented to compare different ML models with for example likelihood ratio-tests, AIC or BIC as in ModelTest or the SH-test (Shimodaira and Hasegawa, 1999).
