The SAGE method was used as initially described in Velculescu et al. [ 81, 82] at the CHUQ Research Centre (CRCHUQ) SAGE Platform, Quebec City, QC, Canada http://www.crchuq.ulaval.ca/plateformes/gpb.
In preliminary testing, we found no advantage in using the Metropolis criterion (Additional file 1 Figure S2), and thus the reported results use the initially described greedy approach.
In many cases, the few morphological characters used to support molecular phylogenies are selected from the characters that were used to initially describe the taxa, rather than novel characters from active morphological and anatomical research.
Antiviral therapy using AZT/IFN was initially described by Gill et al.
FADC was initially described using microsatellite markers [ 14] and FPLINK using SNPs [ 21].
This mechanism was initially described using hypothetical kinetics of binding a single repressor molecule to a DNA site and later using association of dimeric proteins [44], [45].
Each variable was initially described using descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, proportions) and graphs.
Breast density measures were initially described using nonparametric statistics, and prior to modeling were log-transformed to improve normality.
The data were initially described using mean SD) (for age), median(IQR, interquartile range) (for LoT), or proportions (for gender, diagnoses and the caseload management behaviours).
In normal, non-intubated adults, McIlroy et al. initially described using exhaled VT and flow rate to construct a line, and the slope of the line reflected ƬE [ 9].
