The test uses a multiple matching format in which items are banded by frequency levels, allowing size to be inferred from performance across decreasing frequency levels.
Platelet aggregation was tested using a multiple platelet function analyzer (Multiplate; Dynabyte, Germany) by activation with ADP as well as thrombin-activating peptide 6 and expressed as the area under the curve (AUC).
All of the statistical analyses in this study were performed using PASW software, version 18. H1 was tested using a multiple regression analysis and H2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were tested using a binary logistic regression analysis.
The data were first checked for normality, then differences between selected groups were tested using a multiple t-test.
Specifically, multiple causal variants in a QTL region can be tested using a multiple SNP association model in this region.
The contribution of potential confounding factors in LINE-1%meth variation was tested using a multiple linear regression model including age, sex and smoking.
Syphilis was significantly associated with history of miscarriage (OR 3.31; CI 2.20 4.99; P < 0.0001) after testing using a multiple regression model.
Statistical significance of the group differences was tested using a multiple comparison correction to control the false discovery rate (FDR; [47]) at P =.05.
Prior to the SNP association analysis, the effect of age and case-control status on serum YKL-40 was tested using a multiple linear regression model, with serum YKL-40 as dependent variable and case-control status and a non-linear function of age included as covariate.
The theoretical anatomic learning outcomes were tested using a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ), and after cross-over an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).
