The algorithm systematically chooses the process predictors by using a particular selection criterion, namely the coefficient of determination (or R-squared).
The TRACK study is a multi-site, mixed methods study that aims to explore policies, processes, predictors and experiences of transition of care.
(b) Do the resource priming conditions result in more resource-activating micro-interventions than the adherence priming condition [ 55]? (c) Are the in-session processes predictors and mediators of session and therapy outcomes [ 43]? (2) Post-session outcomes.
In the process of predictor development, human interference can assure that only the biologically meaningful among the significant correlations enter the decision function.
For example, the number of process parameters (predictors) may be large with respect to the number of samples, the predictors may contain either numerical or categorical values, the datasets may contain missing values and, finally, the relationship among the predictors and product yield may be non-linear.
A detailed description of the LUR model development process and predictors are provided in Beelen et al [ 21] and Eeftens et al [ 22].
We processed all predictors into ASCII files using ArcMap 9.3 (ESRI, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., Redlands, California, USA) and imported them into the statistics program R (R Development Core Team, 2011).
Not surprisingly, shock is a late finding in the disease process and a predictor of mortality.
In the tree construction process, the best predictor variables were identified with algorithms that divided the parent node sample into two child nodes.
In our opinion, continuous hemodynamic monitoring may provide helpful beat-to-beat information and it might be used, combined with the gas exchange and oxygen saturation monitoring, during the weaning process as a predictor of cardiovascular instability or respiratory failure.
However, awareness of fire as an important local ecological process was a predictor of willingness to cooperate with other private and public forest owners, suggesting that owners who share this view are more likely to cooperate.
