To reduce the computational effort for reliability analyses, Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Analysis of Variance in combination with response surface methods were applied and compared.
For multifactor analyses analysis of variance in combination with the Bonferroni post hoc test was used.
Parametric comparisons were carried out using the ANOVA analysis of variance in combination with the Tukey test.
At variance, the combination of drug with the potential immune-modulating diet seems to be associated with a significant increase of Treg population that reaches normal values in IMMD Group.
Statistical significance was determined by the Mann-Whitney U test, except for Figure 3B and Figure 5B, where analysis of variance in combination with a post hoc Tuckey test was used, and Figure 2H, where a paired t test was used.
The variance among combinations decreased as more regions were combined, with the single, two and three-region combinations exhibiting the greatest variation (Fig. 2).
Differences on variables that were not normally distributed or contained outliers in one or both of the groups were analyzed with the Yuen Welch t test (Yuen 1974), a robust test to compare independent means that employs trimmed population means and Winsorized variances in combination with Welch's two-sample test.
Various socio-demographic, clinical, occupational and psychosocial factors have been identified [ 2, 4- 7], although it is acknowledged that individual risk factors explain only a modest part of the variance and combinations of risk factors provide a stronger indication of prognosis [ 8, 9].
In this subsection, we perform SKI using different feature combinations, that is, coherence only, mean only, variance only, the combination of coherence and mean, and the combination of coherence, mean, and variance.
