This is followed by a description of the stages, steps and procedure of Contribution Mapping.
Here, we describe the design of the computational and informatics infrastructure together with procedures for contribution of data to the CAP, de-identification, standardization and sharing of data and software tools, and policies for the protection of the rights of participants, contributors and users of the database.
At every stage of the procedure the contribution of each covariate, entered at the current step or previously, was examined.
A notable difference to the traditional code contribution procedures of the Bio* projects is that best practices are encouraged, rather than enforced.
Exact and approximate expressions are derived that allow the design of suitable procedures including the contribution of measurement uncertainty.
This procedure shows the contribution of criteria irrespective of the number of levels they have.
Policy makers and managers should improve the level of POS in COs by establishing fair and impartial procedures, affirming the contribution of COs and giving adequate praise and awards, maintaining effective communication with COs, helping them with career planning, providing good working conditions, improving job autonomy, and caring about their well-being [ 41, 53, 54].
Removal of the stray light can be carried out following previously published procedures, where the contribution of stray light on photo-induced luminescence images (ambient light, light emitted by other materials present in the room, parasitic light coming from the irradiation source), is appraised and taken into account by using the Spectralon® 99% reflectance standard [15, 24, 39].
These procedures assessed the contribution of 5 disease-related variables, i.e. duration of disease, PANSS positive and negative scores [ 30], catatonic signs [ 47], and dose of antipsychotic medication, to 3 dependent performance variables: (a) basic cognition/fine motor functions, (b) cognitive performance and (c) global functioning (Table 6).
