For the data set we are using here, taken after the operations of the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft ceased, there is no local (Mars orbit) proxy available for the solar wind electric field direction.
The SNP rs10683701 and rs13397 were not available in the validation dataset, therefore rs7979246 was used as a proxy (r = 0.98) for rs10683701, no proxy was available for rs13397.
SNPs that were predicted to perform poorly with Illumina GoldenGate genotyping technology were either replaced by SNPs in high LD (r2 = 0.8, as calculated from HapMap data), or dropped from the list if no proxy was available.
The mRNA screen was conducted in transformed LCLs and so it would not be informative about tissue-specific gene expression.[21] Also, SNP coverage across the genome was not complete and so the functional effects of some SNPs for which no proxy was available will be concealed.
Adolescents excluded from analysis because there was no proxy questionnaire available, more often had a non-Dutch surname.
Patients were excluded if no proxy was available to provide information, they died before the proxy interview was obtained, they were transferred from another ICU, their admission lasted less than 24 hours or they were non-English speaking.
Reasons for non-participation, among cases and controls, were refusal (94% and 86%), unable to trace (3% and 11%), death with no proxy respondent available (2% and 1%), and language barrier (1% and 1%).
In 1998, the most recent year's proxy available for Penney, Mr. Oesterreicher made $612,000.
The analysts' views are the best proxy available for investors' views, the professors said.
Following Guzmán et al. ( 2008 ), the best proxy available is the sex of the household head.
