With the exception of the interaction term specifying the Wilcox-Russell hypothesis, the use of second-degree polynomials limits the biologic interpretability of the individual parameters.
The expected value was predicted with Loess local regression of second degree using the 5% of the data closest to the estimation point in the local regression as implemented in R (R Development Core Team, 2009).
Approximation of designated points may be executed using polynomial of third degree in order to level the differences between the real and originally designated eyelid edge localization.
The approach used in this paper is to use a polynomial of eighth degree to model manufacturer wind turbine power curve data between cut-in and rated wind speed region.
It also uses a polynomial of eighth degree for modeling wind turbine power curve.
- Adjusted for age, residence, menopausal status, menopausal age, menarche age, use of OC, use of HRT, first degree family history, age at first full pregnancy, parity, abortion, lactation, medication to suppress lactation, radiation to the chest, body mass index and benign breast disease.
The presence of at least two intermediate agents allows the researcher to use the characteristics of third-degree neighbours (neighbours-of-neighbours-of-neighbours who are not direct neighbours or neighbours-of-neighbours) as an additional instrument to account for the network fixed effect.
For the parabolic equation a linear approximate system of derivative equations of first degree may be used: dΨ dt = AΨ + BQ (10).
The variance among studies could be due to factors such as variation among sample size of studies, source of normal controls, kind of first degree relatives, scales used and clinical factors such as being on medication.
She is particularly strong in detailing how a broad coalition of civil libertarians, riding the reformist wave of the New Deal, managed to curb greatly the use of the third degree -- the application of beatings and other low-grade tortures in order to extract confessions.
Again, Baldwin's findings based on hundreds of taped interviews indicate that the interviewing skills of UK police during the period of the infamous police use of the third degree against the Birmingham Six, Guildford Four and Maguire Seven would have been quite poor (Baldwin 1993).
