In parasites, as consumers, a stepwise enrichment reflected by greater δ15N values is expected relative to their hosts [11], [13], [14], but due to the complexity of host-parasite interactions the isotopic niche of a parasite can vary depending upon the host-parasite system [15], [16].
Stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that greater litter size and female sex were significantly associated with reduced pup birth weight and length.
After stepwise multivariate regression, infusion of greater than 3,200 ml of chloride-liberal fluids (HR 6.25, 95% CI 2.69, 14.5, P <0.000) and preoperative MELD score (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02, 1.15, P = 0.004) remained significant predictors for AKI.
In stepwise Cox multivariate regression analysis, age greater than 60, advanced stage, and poor performance had an independent influence on poor survival.
The new machines — they may pique curiosity stepwise, but will they inspire the great leaps of artistic faith?
Summarizing the present results, three independent risk factors could be detected applying a stepwise logistic regression procedure to a great number of potential risk factors for bacterial catheter colonization.
Stepwise regression analysis within diets resulted in greater coefficient of determination and lower standard error values.
Subsequently, a hybrid-modeling approach was adopted by applying stepwise regression to select input variables of greater importance.
The possibility of eluting the phosphopeptides stepwise has recently been shown to a greater extent (Park and Maudsley 2011).
For the covariable selection, we used a stepwise procedure excluding covariables with a P value greater than 0.10.
