To our knowledge, no other studies have investigated and compared the use of hospital resources in adjacent time periods before and after the first SRE in patients with bone metastasizing lung cancer.
4 To date, few studies have examined the use of hospital resources in lung cancer patients with bone metastasis and SREs, 8– 10 and we are unaware of any that have investigated and compared the use of hospital resources in adjacent time periods before and after the first SRE in these patients.
Observed values show a variable behavior, increasing or decreasing in adjacent time points.
Alterations in expression between adjacent time points across the entire time series were characterized using the trajectory clustering algorithm [14].
To quantitatively assess performance, we manually segmented nuclei in two different regions of adjacent time points in the Drosophila dataset using the software package Imaris (Bitflow).
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was used to assess time differences in JOA and NDI scores across time points, while paired t test was used to compare score means between two adjacent time points.
Differences between two adjacent time points for the same genotype were determined using independent sample t-tests in IBM SPSS Statistics 19 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
To improve noise immunity under Gaussian noise, the squared autocorrelation of errors at adjacent times was used in [10], and in [11], the fourth order cumulant of instantaneous error was adopted.
The expression level of ADHFE1 in CRC tissues was compared to that in adjacent normal tissues using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR).
The set of candidate time points is denoted as T : = { t j ; j = 1, ⋯, k p }, with T ⊂ T. The corresponding candidate time point ranges are determined based on a conservative premise that uses uncertainty information contained in adjacent measurements.
