The data used to train the SVMs, and predictors in general, greatly influence the performance of the method.
Urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7], NGAL, and cystatin-C should be used cautiously as AKI predictors in general ICU patients since urine levels of these biomarkers are affected by factors other than AKI and their performance can be poor.
For both the individual and the group analysis, the condition of interest was convoluted with a hemodynamic response function, as introduced by Boynton, and served as an independent predictor in the general linear model (GLM) [ 29].
Activity was the best of the EAS predictors but, in general, child temperament variables at diagnosis were not as powerful predictors of YSR/YASR scores (2 7% of variance) as CBCL measures.
Suicidal intention was not an independent predictor of death in general, but it was the only independent predictor of later suicide.
It might also be possible that the recurrence score is useful in predicting response or lack of response to tamoxifen of ER-positive patients, but is not a good predictor for recurrence in general.
Intake of dietary folate equivalents, which account for differences in the absorption of naturally occurring food folate and the more bio-available synthetic folic acid, was an important predictor of intake in general, even after adjusting for caloric intake.
A study of self-poisoning patients in Oslo in 1980 found that being evaluated as a suicide attempt patient was not an independent predictor of death in general [ 2], although other studies have found increased mortality among suicide attempters compared with the general population [ 3].
59 They additionally provide further evidence for SoC as an independent predictor of differences in general health status, 16 with a one unit increase in SoC associated with around a 3% lower likelihood of reporting bad/very bad health (albeit that the addition of SoC did not greatly increase the amount of variation explained in the model).
The other variables were not significant for predictors in the general model, as Lee and co-workers [9] had already reported.
