Urine electrolytes were determined by certified clinical laboratories according to clinically accepted standardized analytic protocols.
We use simple static models to standardize the analytic framework and improve comparability between the two new vaccines.
Accordingly, to comparatively evaluate the health and economic impact of the two new vaccines (HPV and rotavirus), we further standardized on some analytic choices and scope of the costs, but kept the same model inputs and assumptions as described in the previously published articles [ 6, 17].
Standardized testing drives standardized curricula and standardized pacing.
Since quantitative outcomes were reported in a variety of ways in the meta-analytic studies we reviewed, we standardized the effect estimation into an ordinal magnitude of effect.
Despite various design and analytic approaches as well as standardized data collection and quality control efforts, as an observational study, we cannot rule out the impact of residual confounding and bias.
Interventions to improve data analyses might include training in analytic methods, including data presentation (standardized charts and graphs) and the establishment of indicator targets designed for public health action.
To prevent differences in scale causing particular life history traits to dominate loadings in the factor analytic models described below, all traits were standardized to unit phenotypic variance by dividing by their standard deviation.
Therefore, each study's physical activity summary score (sum of leisure, sport, and work activity scores in ARIC and CARDIA, and total physical activity in kilocalories over the past year in Framingham) was standardized (mean = 0, SD = 1) for analytic purposes.
Teachers will have even greater incentive to teach to standardized tests rather than focus on the kind of critical and analytic thinking our children need to succeed in our world.
