We found that only 19% of input action potentials produced an output action potential, whereas 55% produced only an EPSP and 26% produced no detectable EPSP in the following 18 ms (only EPSPs over 1 mV in amplitude were reliably detectable, so this may be an overestimate; see Experimental Procedures for choice of 18 ms).
After the LR model has been built using a forward stepwise selection procedure for the choice of a subset of predictor variables x i (i = 1, 2,..., d), each continuous predictor is categorized using a locally weighted scatterplot procedure to subjectively identify cut-off points on the basis of training data.
For example, the procedure of choice for decompression of the cervical spine depends on a variety of factors including the source and location of the compression, the number of vertebral segments involved, cervical alignment, and surgeon experience [31].
It is poised to become the procedure of choice for mass screening for colon polyps.
The optimization procedure for the choice of the sliding surface are expressed in terms of LMIs.
We applied a backward elimination stepwise procedure for the choice of the best predictive variables according to the Akaike information criterion (AIC).
Minimally invasive breast biopsy (MIBB) is the procedure of choice for diagnosing breast lesions indeterminate for malignancy.
In patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), distal revascularization remains the procedure of choice for preventing limb loss, but long-term outcomes for pain relief, wound healing, and prevention of amputation remain suboptimal.
For some authors, it should be considered the surgical procedure of choice for this condition, although almost half of patients will need glaucoma treatment postoperatively.
In this study, D2 dissection was generally considered as an essential procedure, however, surgical oncologists have different ideas as to the surgical procedure of choice for gastric cancer, such as the gastrectomy options for proximal gastric cancer, the extent of the lymph nodes dissection, and what is an adequate surgical margin.
