Sentence examples for predictors are kept from inspiring English sources

Here, we will illustrate an alternative strategy in which continuous predictors are kept continuous, and in which, furthermore, nonlinear relationships (if present) are detected and modelled appropriately.

In our approach, we categorised a continuous prognostic index produced by the multivariable fractional polynomial (MFP) algorithm, using a strategy in which continuous predictors are kept continuous.

For continuous outcomes (e.g. intimate partner violence index), SEM produces linear regression coefficients which can be interpreted as one coefficient unit increase in the outcome for every unit increase in the predictor, if other predictors are kept constant.

Not predetermined predictors were kept at a significance level of 0.20.

Children with non-missing values on outcome variables and key predictors were kept in the analysis, yielding a total sample of 1,231 children with 2,555 observations.

Principal component analysis is used to develop a smaller number of artificial variables, called principal components, which account for most of the variance in the observed variables of a data set (Jolliffe, 2002); usually only the first few components are kept as potential predictors for statistical modelling (Jolliffe, 2002).

In all four models all predictor variables were kept in the model, as the AIC indicated no improvement of the models when excluding variables.

Models were fitted in the bootstrap sample (with replacement) and a backward stepwise method was applied at significance level 0.05 for a predictor to be kept in a model.

Only predictors with p < 0.05 were kept in the final model.
