Indeed the dataset collated in this study could be viewed as a training set from which existing and new algorithmic methods could be refined, developed and validated.
Secondary analysis refers to some re-analyses of data collected by other researchers or organizations originally, including the analysis of datasets collated from a variety of sources to create time series or area-based datasets (Hakim, 2000).
These include datasets collated by some of the largest national and international surveillance programs (Little et al., 2002; SPREAD programme, 2008; UK Collaborative Group on HIV Drug Resistance, 2007; Yerly et al., 2007).
‡Numbers in this column indicate the number of sequences that span the given amino acid position; the number 195 implies that all the datasets we collated, including the sequences for viruses from Kilifi, Kenya.
Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to a dataset collated from the literature.
The Health Outcomes Data Repository, HODaR, is a dataset collated by Cardiff Research Consortium.
This is based on the comparison between the large scale dataset generated by Belle et al. and a smaller dataset collated from values reported in the literature, where the distribution of fold different values centres nearly perfectly around one.
But, yet again, the connection failed to hold up in a larger dataset collated by meta-analysis [ 54].
Rather, the relevant extracts from the dataset were collated to form themes. Themes were then checked against each other and against the original dataset to ensure that they were coherent, consistent, and distinctive.
Participants were receptive to the idea of a new limited dataset collating comparative data from currently available routine data sources.
