We chose to carry out these analyses using the external anchor referring to change of pain only, because we found minimal difference in our estimates between the differently phrased external anchors, and the GPE questioning improvement of pain is frequently used in other studies.
Based on assessment of fit, a fixed effect model was employed; there was minimal difference in mean residual deviances and DIC between the different models tested (fixed effect, simple random effects and full random effects, which accounted for correlation within the three-arm trial), thus the least complex model, given the limited data available for analysis, was applied.
The attack rate-based strategy was most effective at reducing the total number of infections and minimizing hospitalizations when the epidemic peaked in December or January, with minimal difference in the impact of competing strategies on overall attack rates when the epidemic peaked earlier.
There was only a minimal difference in the average ACT scores of men and women.
They localize the sound by noticing the difference in intensity and the minimal difference in time of arrival at the ears, increasing these differences by turning the head.
There was minimal difference in the intercondylar distance between the groups.
Given the minimal difference in root growth, the lack of differences in top growth are understandable.
Results indicated minimal difference in herpetofaunal diversity among treatments at the landscape-scale after 23 years of management.
For the cavity flow problem, all four boundary conditions show minimal difference in the computing time needed to reach a steady state.
The minimal difference in the trading results between the safe and normal positions can be explained by the behaviour of (theta _t).
There was a greater similarity between the LSW and LMW load/deflection curves, presumably owing to the minimal difference in length between the two (about 3%%).
