The middle range of scores of the normal distribution is considered as normal (within 2 SD of the mean), and extreme high or low scores are considered deviant.
They reveal a small but consistent difference in difficulty of around 3 raw score points across the middle range of scores.
In the middle range of scores from -1 to +3, 3 were in favor of screening and 9 preferred not to be screened.
However, this alternative explanation seems unlikely because, for both domains, middle-range scores were present at baseline, which suggests that there was potential for a change in scores.
A sensitivity analysis that incorporated the middle range of scores on the behaviour scale into the low risk category was carried out, and the results with respect to protective factors were unchanged (data not shown).
Although we attempted to standardise the stems used for Experiment 1, to correspond to the tools we had previously recovered from free-ranging crows (and which accord with the preferred middle range of material scores in Experiment 2), our selection was inevitably subject to environmental availability.
In contrast, the lag time ratio decreased gradually until the middle range of MELD scores).
Descriptive statistics (variance, mean, histograms) were generated for each item and examined for amount of variance and middle range mean scores as well as sufficient endorsement frequency.
The enrichment in keto-octulosonic acid from the degradation of cell wall pectin with middle range PC1 scores (Fig. 6b) may indicate increased fruit softening which is typical of the Rutab advanced ripening phase in dates (refer to background).
Initially, we considered excluding reviews with low or middle range methodological scores, in order to reduce the risk of bias.
Item distribution of the 56 ACT items showed acceptable variance and middle range mean scores.
