Where new parameters were introduced, mostly in our implementation of concrete tasks, we explored other values to ascertain that our results were robust against variations in these parameters, as described in Text S1.
By the far the simplest and most popular approach reduces differential expression to a pairwise comparison of mean parameters, resulting in a fold-change measure of change and a P-value to ascertain statistical significance of the finding.
Asterisks shows the significant values (** p ≤ 0.01 and * p ≤ 0.05) vs. control group (n = 6) and n.s shows statistically non significant values To ascertain central analgesic activity we have carried out tail immersion test.
Less optimal clustering combinations were chosen using 81 covariates based on index values to ascertain whether there were cluster counts that were more suitable for asthma segregation and mechanistic interpretation.
The raw Cq values were transformed to quantities with efficiency correction and then analysed with the geNorm algorithm to rank the 13 candidate genes according to their M value and to ascertain their expression stability over a specified set of conditions.
Receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis was performed and area under the curve (AUC) values computed to ascertain the ability of each prospective biomarker to correctly identify diseased and disease-free animals [ 19].
Similar repeatedly presented pictures have little own value [ 12], but complete absence of reward value is difficult to ascertain, as more interesting visual stimuli such as changing pictures, movies, and laboratory environments are known to be rewarding [ 12, 13].
In the primate retina, the dendritic arbors of DA cells have diameters of ∼400 µm near the fovea and ∼600 µm in the periphery, whereas the axon-like arbors encompass a diameter of at least 6 mm, the exact value being difficult to ascertain due to uncertainty in the extent of diffusion of the injected label [24].
Glass transition and contact angle values were determined to ascertain structure property correlations due to defined chemical changes in the polymer mainchain and pendent chain.
