It is based on the Spark framework and covers all the steps required by our approach, starting from the initial indexing of a set of FASTA sequences up to producing a report detailing the distances among these sequences, ranked according to a user-defined measure.
With the help of two standard statistical software packages, the reliability and validity of the initialized index system are established, and then the optimization of the initial index system is carried out by means of Factor Analysis.
The proportion of HIV-infected MSM who were successfully genotyped was 77.6% (38/49) of the initial index cases and 66.7% (34/51) of the persons with newly identified infections in the contact tracing survey, including 32 (66.7% of 48) long-term male partners and 2 (66.7% of 3) commercial male partners.
Further adjustments in index parameters of the model could be made to yield complete compensation, but we do not feel that such an exercise is justified at present, in view of the uncertainties about the initial index profiles in the lens of a patient who in experiencing hyperglycemia.
Patient condition was only considered better if it showed a reduction of at least 50% of the initial index and considered normal if the index was lower than five, which was also considered in the studies by Almeida et al. [16], Blanco et al. [33], Chan et al. [14], Clark et al. [3], and Mehta et al. [19].
Descriptive statistics were calculated from demographic characteristics and primary diagnoses at index date based on the initial index claim with a primary diagnosis of sacroiliitis, disorders of sacrum, SI subluxation, sprain/strain in SI region, or sprain/strain of sacrum.
The key idea underlying our approach is to compress the initial index domain along a number of directions in order to obtain a new domain that is more suitable for the application of projection methods.
The primary outcome was the occurrence of an unplanned return ED visit for hyperglycemia within 30 days of the initial index hyperglycemia visit.
For those patients who were readmitted within 72-hours after initial discharge, the readmission was considered part of the initial index admission.
Using chi-square tests of proportion, we compared patterns of age, gender, co-morbidities, and utilization after the initial index visit, categorized by the number of LBP episodes.
