Although slope is a continuous variable, calculations of topographic traits required discrete barriers (that is, groups of cells that constituted a cohesive barrier).
All raw file processing and summary variable calculations were conducted by a single researcher who was also involved with the team performing the software development and refinement, meaning that for the inclinometer data, there was no additional training time required.
Independent variable calculation was further followed by removal of invariable columns containing constant values for more than 90% molecules, which finally resulted in 311 independent variables from the large pool of descriptors.
The sensor pressure values from both systems were exported and then analyzed by MATLAB 7.0 software (MathWorks, Massachusetts, USA) through an appropriate program for data processing and variable calculation.
Statistical analysis will mainly focus on descriptive analysis including calculation of relative and absolute frequencies for binary/categorical variables and for continuous variables calculation of mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range, minimum and maximum.
As this is an explorative study including comparisons between different variables, calculation of the significant p-value took into account the 6 outcomes: p < 0.01 was considered to provide evidence of an association, while p < 0.05 was considered to indicate a possible association [ 23].
The present study suggests caution in adopting of the Q1D extension or DS method in multidimensional flow when it is sensitive to the accuracy of stress or wall variable gradient calculations.
The median value of pathological response was 60%; this was taken as the main cutoff point to dichotomise the variable, although calculations with other cutoff points were also performed.
Not addressed in this simple example is the fact that, in almost all implementation of this Method (i.e., all implementations other than introducing a true instrumental variable), these calculations would need to adjust for the association with outcome of the variable(s) introduced into Model 2 to produce the amplification.
To enhance the solution of the resulting mixed-integer nonlinear programming models, we develop (1) new methods for the calculation of steam properties, (2) algorithms for variable bound calculation, and (3) systematic methods for the generation of redundant constraints.
Since the theoretical relations are constructed using reduced variables, the calculations are made only on the case of C colliding on C.
