The order of the explanatory variables entered in the models was selected based on calculations of deviance which is a discrepancy index.
Based on a hypothesised order of importance of explanatory variables, manual sequential regression models were analysed.
This makes sense insofar as abstraction involves removal of parts, but Nishida also uses this method to reverse the usual order of things in explanatory schemas or hierarchies.
We used a hierarchical approach in developing multiple linear regression models of percent predicted FEV1 and asthma severity, in order to reduce the number of explanatory variables in the models.
The collected time and resource usage data were used as reference standard for the hospital care needed by the patients in order to test the set of explanatory factors (Table 1).
Most notably, this study maps the spatial distribution and clustering of the identified factors in order to begin matching configurations of explanatory variables with particular clusters of HIV hotspots at district level for potential spatial targeting of HIV interventions in Malawi.
In order to examine the effects of explanatory variables, especially the effects of each PR tool on the "Uptake rate", the best model is selected by c-AIC from model 3 as a full model, with a restriction to keep "Shot price" and "Income".
We badly need more detailed case studies in order to understand better the variety of explanatory uses that mathematics can play in empirical contexts.
In order to investigate the isolated effects of explanatory variables on attitudinal acceptability, a linear regression analysis was conducted (see Table 7).
