Moreover, because colorectal carcinogenesis is characterised by a relatively slow and stepwise progression from normal to dysplastic epithelium to carcinoma, which may take years or even decades, studies of inflammatory markers in relation to incident CRC may be particularly susceptible to reverse causation due to occult neoplasia (Leslie et al, 2002).
These samples showed the moderate LTD memories of IRM (50 70 %, Fig. 9c) and relatively stable behavior during stepwise AFD treatment (Fig. 6).
The samples with low B c values (<10 mT) and low M NRM/M IRM values (<~0.1) showed (1) decrease in the IRM intensity after LTD treatment (Fig. 9c), (2) pronounced low-temperature remanence reduction at around 100 150 K (Fig. 8), (3) PSD-like M rs/M s values, and (4) relatively stable behavior during stepwise AFD treatment (Fig. 6).
Par. 3, last line: "Stepwise" means "relatively large" in context, but perhaps it should be made more explicit (otherwise, may be interpreted as "step by step", i.e., gradual).
Bivalency seems to thus be both established and resolved in a stepwise manner, as relatively few genes lose both active and repressive marks between differentiation stages.
The dataset is relatively small, and the authors use stepwise logistic regression models to detect small differences.
This increased NF variation is likely due to the stepwise inclusion of genes with relatively unstable expression.
Multiple stepwise linear regression models exhibited relatively high proportions of HRQoL variance explained.
Though commonly used, models developed using stepwise variable selection can have relatively poor predictive value.
However, it should be noted that the depressed individuals already had relatively high scores and therefore a further stepwise increase in score would be less likely to occur as they were already scoring highly.
