For the participants with the same QoL, those with a junior high educational level and below tended to score higher than those with a senior high educational level and above on item E9 (DIF contrast = 0.50), and females were prone to score lower than were males (DIF contrast = −0.86) on item S2.
Mark made known his disapproval of leftwing politicians who he felt were prone to point-scoring at the expense of the police, and he directed his fire at defence lawyers whom he saw as perverting the course of justice, attacking them most memorably in the 1973 Dimbleby lecture on BBC television.
Younger students, women, and those who were already prone to low scores were the most impacted, with the starkest changes seen in mathematics-heavy courses.
Finally, the use of the quadratic discriminant score function is not prone to subjectivity in scoring or inaccuracies in quantitation as immunohistochemical staining or densitometry of an electrophoresed nucleic acid band can be.
That theory could help explain why studies have found that people prone to mind wandering also score higher on tests of creativity, like the word-association puzzle mentioned earlier.
We have tested whether Nat2 genotype influences susceptibility to neural tube defects, using the C57Bl/6 strain, which is not prone to neural tube defects, and scoring embryos for neural tube defects at e10.5 and e11.5.
Scoring methods based on ordinal scores are prone to produce skewed results, particularly when the range of possible responses is narrow.
He said he watched tapes of the first three games "and noticed I might be more prone to go for the score more frequently than I need to," referring to a bid for laughs.
Assuming that pairs of nodes interacting with the central ego in a similar way are more prone to be connected, the score of the pair ((i,j) ) is then computed from the scalar product of these weight vectors: s_{mathrm{pr}}(i,j) = frac{(w_{A} e,i) cdot w_{A} e,j) + w_{B} e,i) cdot w_{B} e,j))}{W e)}.
