All models used a dependent variable of FEV1percentt predicted consisting of all FEV1 measurements obtained over 5 years following the time of ascertainment of exercise status (t = 0).
Third, we used a dependent variable based on numbers of individuals admitted at least once in any given year (rather than total numbers of admissions) to test whether individuals admitted frequently ('revolving door' cases) 33 distorted observed admission rates.
The model used in estimating branch biomass which is later used as a dependent variable in the test population, was a logarithmic model (Equation 2).
Mammographic density was used as a dependent variable, and rs7172156 and rs749292 were used as independent variables, adjusted for age, parity and BMI.
For the first stage, the DEA method is employed to calculate a technical efficiency scores, then this score is used as a dependent variable to regress with exogenous variables during the second stage, using Tobit regression or OLS.
Subsequently, the inefficiency score was used as a dependent variable and regressed against hypothesized determinants (Size, Teachstat, BOR, Dcstaf, Opvinpdays and impdoc) using a censored Tobit model.
In this study, the monthly incidence of human brucellosis was used as a dependent variable, and monthly meteorological variables (temperature, rainfall, HS, RH, and WV) were used as the independent variables.
With regard to the second research question, INTENTION scores were used as a dependent variable, and all significant predictors from the correlation analysis in Table 5 were used as independent variables.
For regression analysis (forward stepwise regression), in a first model, the LVMI was used as a dependent variable and age, sex, body mass index (BMI), NSBP, GCI and diabetes and hypertension duration were used as independent variables.
Total playtime was used as a dependent variable to measure the attendance of the participants.
