We have used natural logarithm (ln) transformations for calculating standard errors, although the logarithm with the base 10 may be used without producing different conclusions.
It exploits the fact that the transformation matrices for calculating discrete points on the B-spline are independent of the position of control points and therefore can be pre-calculated.
Data log-transformation allowed for calculating the Pearson's correlation coefficients (r), finding a moderate association by categories: 0.599 (p = 0.005) DALYs, 0.558 (p = 0.011) mortality, 0.473 (p = 0.035) YLLs and 0.399 (p = 0.091) YLDs.
The Bacteria Transformation Efficiency Calculator (http://www.sciencegateway.org/tools/transform.htm) was used for calculating transformation efficiency for each PCR product ligated into pELMO and expressed as transformants/µg plasmid.
As all tested clones were PCR positive, the plants which grew well on selection medium for more than two months are considered as transgenic lines and thus used for calculating transformation efficiency.
The co-transformed yeast were also plated on SD-LT plates for calculating the transformation efficiency.
Since two keypoint mappings are required for calculating a similarity transformation, the computational complexity of exhausting pairs of keypoint mappings is greatly reduced compared with exhausting triplets of keypoint mappings.
The corners on the sides of the cube were digitized and used for calculating direct linear transformation coefficients for reconstruction of 3-dimensional positions from both cameras [22].
The formula for calculating the a posteriori probability requires the transformation of the pre-test probability to an odds [odds = probability/(1 - probability)].
