It has also been used to represent the results of statistical studies of accidents but, these statistical studies have not been carried out with GIS.
The main analyses will be computed using analyses of covariance in view of statistical studies suggesting that controlling for the baseline score is superior to simple pre-post comparisons and usually leads to an increase in power.
To note just two examples, in 1937 Kolmogorov published a paper on the use of statistical theory to study the process of crystallization, and the following year he published a paper on mathematical biology using a branching stochastic process to describe the asymptotic probability of extinction of a species over a large number of generations.
A critical component of genome-wide association studies is the use of statistical analyses to correlate genotypes with phenotypes under study.
Using these statistical studies and the evolution of marital status, we define a discrete model VMDW which defines the evolution of the marital status of the marriage in a population.
The Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) (Brazma, 2009) initiative targets experimental protocols in microarray experiments and other 'omics' studies, while the REMARK guidelines (Altman et al., 2012) focus on the appropriate and transparent use of statistical methods in tumour marker prognostic studies.
Most metabolomics studies make use of statistical techniques to look for correlations between spectral signals and the biological states of the analyzed samples.
Several reviews have discussed the current use of statistical designs in published phase II studies in cancer (Mariani and Marubini, 2000; Perrone et al, 2003; Thezenas et al, 2004; Lee and Feng, 2005).
Adanson also introduced the use of statistical methods in botanical classification and studied electricity in torpedo fish and regeneration of limbs and heads in frogs and snails.
In the future, we recommend a similar use of statistical power analysis for those designing experimental studies and for those conducting weight-of-the-evidence reviews, and we also recommend the clear quantitation and reporting of p values to support the review's interpretation and conclusions.
