Sentence examples for using a log base from inspiring English sources
Because our interest was in fold changes in gene expression between groups, we ultimately converted quantities to a logarithmic scale using a log base 2 conversion, which also allowed us to test the normal distribution of values.
Given our interest in the changes in the expression of genes between samples, the quantities were finally converted to a logarithmic scale using a log base 2 conversion.
To improve normality of the distribution, these data will be transformed using a log (base 10) function and the transformed data used in the main analyses.
To improve interpretability, we used a log base 10 transformation, so that a one-unit increase in the log-transformed variable is equivalent to a tenfold increase in exposure (e.g., 0.05 vs. 0.5 μg/m).
Lambda SCR values were converted to EIR equivalents using a log log regression equation based on previously collected SCR and EIR values from areas of different transmission intensity in Tanzania [23], [24].
In this study, we estimated the total I/M ratio of cancers in Guangdong Province in 2009 using a log-linear model based on the aggregation of cancer registry and death surveillance data.
We evaluated cumulative exposures as continuous variables, both untransformed and using the log base 10 transformation.
Three possible comparisons (P trifoliata/ C. sunki, Pool R/ C. sunki and Pool R/Pool S) were analyzed individually using the log (base 2 -transformed normalized expression values as input data.
We included mercury concentration in the regression analyses in two ways: either as a continuous base 4 log-transformed variable or grouped in quintiles (using a base 4 log-transformation means that we get a four-fold effect of mercury on BP, for example the effect on DBP if the concentration of blood mercury increases from 1 μg/L to 4 μg/L or from 8 μg/L to 32 μg/L).
The phenotypic traits were adjusted using log base 10 to obtain a Gaussian distribution.
