Individuals who did not have three valid blood pressure readings were excluded from the analysis.
In addition, we include only immigrants that provided valid responses (excluding "unknown") to the various questions (demographics, source region, etc).
The decoupled external source versus ground response approach is valid because, excluding regions close to strong conductivity anomalies, to a good approximation, the same magnetospheric-ionospheric source current will produce similar horizontal magnetic field variations at regions with different ground conductivity structures.
Accordingly, all the valid observations excluding DSM-IV Axis 4 Q9, range between -0.35 and -0.09 and are statistically significant.
MTB/RIF testing resulted in a positive test for 15.0% (7,195) of all cartridges used and for 16.8% of all valid tests (excluding failed tests).
If not stated otherwise, the frequency of responses to specific items was given as a percentage of all valid responses excluding missing responses.
Half of them were general practitioners, while approximately ¼ were specialists and ¼ residents.> -wrap-foot> aAll respondents were government employed Analysis done on valid N, excluding missing and not applicable One out of five doctors reported having additional private practice.
Q: Because actually, it would be fair to use the results that are valid and exclude the results that are invalid.
Within our data sets >80% of analysed traces passed this quality control step and, as a matter of routine, we manually inspected randomly chosen subsets of valid and excluded traces to confirm appropriate categorisation and analysis.
Of all the philosophical problems to which backward causation (and time travel) gives rise, the paradoxes are those that have generated the most heat in both physics and philosophy because, if they are valid, they exclude backward causation from being both metaphysically and logically possible.
