For mortality rate, number of times of outpatient visit per population and number of times of hospitalization per population, the previous value before 0 was set as "minimum value" where there were minus values.
For example, if 10,000 genes are calibrated to a U with a p-value of 0.05, the U is the minimum value where 500 of the genes in the biological replicates have a p-value < 0.05.
The process of HDI determination consists of choosing upper and lower parameters for each indicator and the normalization is given by an equation that measures the distance between the observed value for the indicator and the minimum value as a proportion of the distance between the maximum and minimum value where I = (observed value-minimum value)/(maximum value-minimum value).
List of the 702 tree species according to their endemic (E) or indigenous (I) status, the total number of occurrences (N), the number of occurrences on ultramafic (UM) substrates, the number of occurrences in rainforest (Forest) and the ranges of elevation and rainfall calculated by the difference between the maximum and the minimum values where the species have been recorded.
This method calculates the ratio of Tajima's D to its theoretical minimum value (Dmin) where all segregating sites are singletons with respect to the rare variant.
If this is the same station and it has times higher SSW than the station that carries the second maximum SSW value and times lower TEP than the station that carries the second minimum TEP value (where is the number of the participating stations and is the total number of stations including the AP), then its SSW value is lowered to times the second maximum value (see Figure 3).
In the first part of the data analysis, we used IBM PASW Statistics 18 for descriptive statistical analyses, and the data were presented as means (standard deviations), percentages, medians, and minimum and maximum values, where appropriate.
Taking the minimum reported adherence value (where multiple values were reported), adherence to study medication remained high and negatively skewed (table 4 and figure 4).
In the case of Va<0, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) when 0<ΔVa≤−Va, the sharpness difference is a monotonic decreasing function and it reaches the minimum value at the point where ΔVa=−Va, and (2) when ΔVa>−Va, the sharpness difference is a monotonic increasing function and it reaches the minimum value at the point where ΔVa=Va.
Hence, we prefer to start the solution by these steps: Step 1: Start from a random i point and determine the π ijk as 1 considering the minimum value of Δ ij, where the S = S* and R k = R k *.
Where minimum value imputation analysis was performed, our results were additionally validated by a stability analysis imputing changing fractions of the minimum values obtained for each response, which confirmed our main analysis.
