Here we term these "Evolutionary Principal Components" (EPC) purely to distinguish them from the axes identified for standing variation among proteomes in Figure 1.
The definition of the PCO-like phenotype in this study was purely clinical, meant to identify a patient population with disproportionally high ovarian reserve, as documented by high oocyte yields and AMH values.
Early work involved the use of purely observational data to identify and prevent disease outbreaks, such as John Snow's calculation of the risk of death by water supply, leading to the identification of "contaminated" water supplies and efforts by the City of London to prevent the drinking of water from those sources [1].
In addition to the purely statistical approach to identify markers, specific markers within the analysed set, considered to be relevant to the mode of cediranib action, were explored further with regard to their prognostic relevance.
Scan statistics using discrete Poisson models [ 28] in SaTScan software version 9.0 [ 29] were conducted to identify purely spatial, purely temporal, and space-time clusters of S. Enteritidis cases.
There is an inherent limitation on the ability for purely data-driven techniques to identify and diagnose faults, especially when the abnormal situations are associated with unknown faults or multiple faults.
Independents outnumber Republicans in the electorate this year, according to polling by the Pew Research Center conducted last month: Among independents, just over half lean toward one of the major parties: About one in 10 are the most purely independent -- they refuse to identify with either party but still care very much about who is president.
The aim of this study is the exploration of the suitability of two different statistical approaches (vectorial and functional analyses), which go beyond a purely descriptive statistics, in order to identify trends and similarities in colour changes of several tempera mock-ups paints during thirteen months.
I resent the idea that someone can choose a culture or a parent to identify with purely because of society's effort to categorize.
In this respect it has been demonstrated that quantitative methylation analysis offers significant advantages over purely qualitative techniques and enables to identify methylation cut-off values that define disease-specific methylation patterns [ 73– 73].
