Despite the difficulty of finding clear-cut distinctions since algorithms often share techniques common to more than one category, nevertheless we have found it useful to categorize them based on the type of information used and on the specific methodology [53, 54].
We provide insight on rationale for employing specific methodologies, and using particular material and tools.
More recently, due to device development, availability, and marketing, clinical research dealing with the utility of NIRS has focused on the specific methodology of NIRS of the thenar eminence (NIRSth).
The purpose of the present study is to determine if the balanced incomplete block design (BIBD), used in descriptive techniques traditionally, may be an alternative for data collection on this specific methodology, the optimized descriptive profile (ODP).
The use of more sensitive and specific methodologies based on donor and recipient genotyping, and transcriptional and proteomic profiling to differentiate and detect early stages of organ injury would bridge this gap.
It was found that kinetics parameters and reaction conversion were significantly influenced by the undertaken functionalization, and the magnitudes of influence were dependent on specific functionalization methodologies.
The present report, based on a new, specific methodology in a dose-response study in subjects with type 1 diabetes, confirms and more precisely quantifies glargine metabolism to yield almost completely M1 in humans compared with previous observations.
Details on priors and the specific methodology used to obtain estimates may be found in Morey (2010).
The paper proposes a specific methodology based on AHP multicriteria approach.
