After selecting the volume, the depth was found using a table of recommended depths (Gloyna 1971).
A standard measure of openness to experience was used and kinaesthetic ability was evaluated using a table of movement dimensions based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA).
Patients were given sequential enrollment numbers, but the assignment of patients to treatment groups was randomly chosen using a table of random numbers.
Students in this treatment constructed a tree of six major groups of chordates using a table of morphological characters (Additional file 1: Supplement 1).
Image cubes are straightforward to implement, the required arithmetic to compute the memory of an address using a table of 3D pointers only demands three integer additions; still, the latency time of a memory access is extremely dependent on the data access pattern.
In both cases, the used information is encoded as a feature vector whose probability is estimated by a Bayesian decision rule, using a table of feature statistics; for stationary pixels the feature statistics are conditioned on the pixel value of a background reference image.
In experiments 3 and 6, the null hypothesis that beetles showed no preference for either olfactometer arm (and thus showed no response to test compound) was tested using a table of cumulative binomial probabilities with a p-value of 0.05.
After we obtained their consent, we used the list of kebeles in the two districts and randomly allocated them to intervention and control groups using a table of random numbers (Figure 1).
Random selection is not the same as haphazard selection; a systematic, physical approach such as tossing a coin or using a table of random numbers or a computer to pick numbers randomly, is necessary for this process.
Initially 32 HBsAg-positive, HBeAg negative volunteers were block randomized by the investigators using a table of random numbers to one of 4 groups: A, B, C, D. The randomization was performed after the decisions for enrollment had been made by the participant and communicated to the study field workers and physicians.
Randomization was done using a table of random numbers.
