The search terms tested in this study were predefined from previous research and were not obtained by objective methods [ 10].
The children visited the research clinic every six months as well as for acute respiratory tract symptoms, including wheezy episodes for three days (as predefined from diaries), clinical pneumonia, or other episodes of respiratory distress.
When the overall SNP variance was partitioned into hierarchical levels using the groups predefined from the model-based population partition at K = 2, K = 3, K = 4, K = 5 and K = 6 as categorical variables, FST accounted for 11.7%, 9.8%, 11.1%, 12.6% and 14.0%, respectively.
A specially designed data programme was used to identify patients with diabetes and to capture predefined data from the EMR from the years 2003 2005.
A software program designed for the study (Mediata AS, Norway) was used to identify patients with diabetes and to capture predefined data from the GPs' EMR (from 2003 to 2005).
To assess the inter-laboratory performance of immunoaffinity enrichment coupled to MRM- MS, Kuhn et al. designed an inter-laboratory study based on the quantification of 8 predefined peptides from S100A7, S100A8, S100A12, and IL1RN proteins [125].
For each point in time of data acquisition we determine one value for each predefined feature from the behavioural data resulting in the extraction of a high dimensional feature vector for each point in time.
Then for each initial time t0, after a single application of the algorithm, the residual risk measure rrn,1,2,2 and the expected QC related cost measure ctn,1,2 (see eqs (60) and (61)) were estimated with QC sampling time intervals Δt1: Estimated to be optimal With predefined length, from 1 to 120 time units, using 1 time unit steps.
To further explore proteomic differences between treatment groups, DEPPS profiling was performed between six comparisons (UPvC, APvUP, CPvAP, CPvC, CPvUP, APvC) resulting in a total of 137 sets, which correspond to 67 manually annotated sets and 70 predefined sets from the Molecular Signature Database (MSigDB, http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/) [15].
Chart abstraction is a general term for when researchers retrieve predefined information from patient medical records and compare that information against agreed-upon standards of care.
For comparison, predefined features from GLEM matrices were extracted and minimum Euclidean distance classifiers based on single features and combinations of two and three features were constructed.
