If significant results were shown, paired t tests (according to Student) for the singular measurements were taken.
Measurements were performed in the juxtapapillary area of both eyes, 2 to 3 mm temporally to the optic nerve; the average from 3 singular measurements was taken.
In an earlier study including singular measurements in a small group of general ICU patients and of volunteers, we also used phenylalanine and leucine tracers in parallel [ 21].
As an outlier, it particularly demonstrates the importance of replication in preventing singular erroneous measurements from steering studies toward erroneous conclusions.
Variable response paths are detected via bifurcation diagrams and spectra of singular values of measurement results, and overall behaviour charts are built in the excitation parameter space.
The combination of MELD scores and a singular ICG-PDR measurement in the early postoperative phase is an accurate predictor for outcome in liver transplant recipients.
In conclusion, the combination of the preoperative MELD score and a singular ICG-PDR measurement in the early postoperative phase (within six hours) is an interesting and easy to assess tool that should be addressed in a larger cohort of patients to evaluate its usefulness in terms of risk stratification and outcome prediction.
Then, the M matrix is formed as: (4 where γ is an adjustment power, and M(Jh i ) represents the maximum singular value for measurement sensitivity Jh at the ith layer, where i = 1… L; L represents the layer number counted from superficial (the surface of scalp which was covered by the optode array) to deep layers.
While the combination of the MELD score and a singular ICG-PDR measurement in the early postoperative phase and BMI were identified as predictors of ICU length of stay, the combination of MELD score and ICG-PDR and age were identified as predictors for hospital length of stay.
Their drawback is the singular nature of measurements at only one time point, which limits insights into the scope of a response and leaves doubt whether the best time point had been selected for data collection.
In using subspace information to characterize the speech signal, subspace trajectories in the form of the right singular vectors of the measurement matrices are obtained.
