A hierarchy of predictive factors was derived by the all-possible regression approach, using Mallow's C (p) criterion for ordering predictive factors, as described previously [ 15, 16].
Likewise, in their study also from the US, Dietz et al. found that practice site was predictive of clinician ordering the test but not for the test being actually taken [ 46].
The first step is to develop a model to establish the relationship between the response variable y and the predictive variables x's in U. Specifically, the first step is to develop a model to convert the multiple predictive variables x 1,…,x L in U to a univariate predictive score to order each patient's response, where L is the total number of x's in U.
Percent parasitism of all hosts was higher in no-choice compared to choice tests and was predictive of rank order of host preference in choice tests.
These complex responses to cellular signaling and transport machinery were similar to emergent behaviors in other complex systems, suggesting that even within a complex embryonic tissue, the overall system can converge toward a predictive first-order response.
For the Bayesian models, we will calculate posterior predictives in order to assess goodness of fit.
In the fractional order model predictive control algorithm, fractional order single-input single-output (SISO) system is discretized via fractional order Grünwald-Letnikov (GL) definition.
Finally, as the third step, risk factor analysis is conducted on the final predictive model in order to rank the risk factors in terms of their relative significance.
In candidiasis with severe bronchopneumonia the precocious increase of IL-10 levels, both in bronchial and in serum, represents confirmation of fungal sepsis and a negative predictive value in order to predict the development of multiorgan failure and death.
This is supported by the fact that if age is dropped from the multiple regression analysis depicted in Table 3, grade level becomes significantly predictive of Word Order for the Ugandan children (P<0.001), but not for the Senegalese children (P = 0.32).
