This is analogous to the LS reduction in Euclidean squared-distance (reduction in sums-of-squares).
Partial response (PR) was defined as 25% or more reduction in sum of products of the greatest diameters of measurable lesions, no increase of lesion size and no new lesions.
Castelino et al 34 concluded that the recommendations provided by a pharmacist as part of the service resulted in a significant reduction in the sum total of DBI scores for all patients.
Ad hoc analyses included symptom response rate (proportion of patients with ⩾50% reduction in total symptom score (TSS: sum of scores of the six key symptoms (early satiety, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, bone pain, night sweats and pruritus) calculated at each visit)); spleen response at 48 weeks; and comparison of health-related quality of life to week 24.
The QTL effect expressed as a percentage of the total variance using the reduction in the sum of the squares after the addition of the marker in the fitted model varies between 2.3 and 4.9% in the F8 and between 4.4 and 4.8% in the F16 depending on age.
The time (h) to first occurrence of at least 50% reduction in CSS total sum score and the two subscores (Table 3, Figure 1), as well as the time to complete remission (Table 3) was shorter when being treated with HC-ac 2.5% and 1% than when being treated with HC-ac 0.5% (p < 0.001).
Briefly, a complete response (CR) wa s disappearance of all lesions, partial response (PR) was a ⩾30% reduction in the sum of the longest diameters of the lesions, stable disease (SD) was denoted in patients whose sum of longest lesion diameters were not decreased >30% and not increased >20%, and progressive disease (PD) was a ⩾20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of the lesions.
The full effects of those deals will be felt in next year's results, meaning that Arsenal's long-term financial future is looking to be fairly promising, although the pre-tax profits were down from £36.6m to £6.7m due to a reduction in the sum received in player sales.
R_SDAV: reduction in the sum of the differences in absolute value of estimated expenditure by cohort.
We found a 255 reduction in the sum of headache and migraine days in 55% (23/42) of the included migraineurs.
The reduction in the sum of the squared pressure signals at the four error microphones for both systems is found to be up to 8 dB at low frequencies and 3 dB on average, where the sound level is particularly high from 80 to 180 Hz.
