At the end of the session, subjects received a new pair of samples and were asked to say which one they preferred.
We calculated the difference between their latitudes of collection and assigned them a category to indicate whether a pair of samples were both from A. philoxeroides soils, both from A. sessilis soils, or from different soil types.
(2) Compute the distances between each pair of samples and form the distance matrix.
In experiment 1, a pair of samples included audio textures synthesized with two different methods, based on the same original recording.
Except for one pair of samples, the result showed that there was no significant difference in polythionate composition and concentration between the duplicates.
Each time a pair of samples was taken, the temperature and relative humidity probes were moved to monitor the next pair of beakers.
The experiment consisted of task pages presented sequentially to the test subject, each page containing one pair of samples or an individual sample depending on the test setup.
When both menisci were taken from the same joint (n = 3), they were considered as separate samples not as a pair of samples, unless indicated in the study.
The UniFrac Significance test option with 100 permutations was used to determine significant differences between each pair of samples on the basis of phylogenetic information.
In experiment 2, a pair of samples included one audio texture synthesized using the proposed similarity-controlled segment shuffling and one real audio sample.
The P Test option was used to test whether each pair of samples was significantly different.
