Because age was strongly associated with ILI, we included it as an independent variable in the model for all single-factor assessments.
It can be seen that, compared to the single factor risk assessment approach, a much less proportion of participants require drug treatment when they are scored by the WHO/ISH Tool.
Moreover, the predictive value of single baseline risk factor assessments for any future disease or event can be questioned, and there is no doubt that longitudinal risk factor assessments would be more reliable.
MANOVA was used because this method can analyze significant differences in student performance on standard course assessments as single factor, effectively combining the tests and quizzes to look for an overall effect with regards to teaching-style, order, and teaching-style + order (Table 1).
The results of our study indicate that clinicians still probably tend to base their prescription decisions on other features than a total CVD risk assessment: a family history of CVD, single risk-factor assessment (elevated BP- or lipid values), or psychosocial factors.
An alternative explanation is that the anti-HIV activity of CVL stems from a combination of multiple endogenous microbicides and that the assessment of no single factor adequately captures the sum total anti-HIV activity of any one woman's CVL microbicides [15], [16], [48].
RSM has a main advantage over the single factor analysis due to its providing the assessment of the multiple variables and their interactions effects on the responses by means of a reduced number of experiments [4, 8].
The application of the assessment model showed that the single factor index of soil heavy metal Hg in the study area reached light pollution levels.
Rudimentary statistical assessments – variance analysis (ANOVA) of a single factor - were used to identify trends and levels of significance or impact of the consortia enrichment.
The assessment parameters were statistically evaluated by ANOVA single factor and Duncan's multiple range tests, to determine if each treatment is statistically different than the control and if the treatments are statistically different from one another, respectively.
