This is why you can end up with statisticians -- both using multivariate analysis -- concluding "A" on the one hand and "not A" on the other, as is often seen in legal battles over an issue (diesel fuel emissions, say), with each side claiming through an expert that the facts are on their side.
Although the authors intended to examine risk factors for amputation using multivariate analysis, they concluded that there was not a large enough sample to conduct such an analysis [ 2].
In addition, Fehm and colleagues [ 53], using a multivariate analysis, also concluded that when serum HER-2/neu results were adjusted for tumor load with CA15-3, serum HER-2/neu remained an independent marker of tumor aggressiveness and reflected the biologic behavior of the tumor.
In reality, an assessment of this bias by multivariate logistic regression analysis concludes that it has no influence on results.
Negative 5 percent, the analysis concluded.
The EIA analysis concludes.
More recently, the same group used a spatial covariance analysis approach and concluded that multivariate analysis of blood flow SPECT data showed good diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing DLB from AD [ 13].
One of their included studies 7 (as well as two not included 8, 9) concluded from multivariate analysis adjusting for socioeconomic status, age, and maternal education that evidence for an association between TTWS and diarrheal morbidity does not exist.
However, based on the multivariate analysis (Table 5), we can conclude that MT1 was independent of stage and NPI (Nottingham Prognostic Index: 0.2× tumor size (cm) + LN + Grade).
On the other hand, a few other earlier studies concluded that gender is not an independent predictor of mortality in multivariate analysis [ 2, 35].
