For a comparison, the advantages and disadvantages of other measures such as kurtosis, mean, variance, form factor and crest factor, both of residual signal and mean amplitude of continuous wavelet transform waveform, are also discussed.
On the technological side, at variance form the traditional telemonitoring of COPD patients, monodimensional in nature or, if multidimensional, based on cumbersome technological tools and procedures [ 20], our telemonitoring system was very easy to use: the patient had to do little more than wearing the device.
Conceptually, this variance forms a "strip" where all samples that lay within its boundaries are influenced by internal noise only.
This illogical result is due to the large variance formed by the binomial distribution explained in Appendix "Hypergeometric distribution".
The first component, which accounted for 37.06% of the total variance, was formed by P, A, He, and AL (Additional file 7: Table S7).
The second component, representing 29.49% of the total variance, was formed by N, LN, and RA, while the third component represented 19.06% of the total variance, which composed of LA, T, and HU.
In addition, we show how random effects analysis of variance, which forms the basis for ICC, can be used to derive additional test-retest metrics, which are generally not reported in the PET brain imaging test-retest literature, such as within-subject coefficient of variation and repeatability coefficient.
LETS are similar to commercial bartering systems, but use complementary currencies in an almost immeasurable variance of forms and structures, designed and controlled by the local community to meet its needs without money.
The variance components formed the covariance structure and the containment method was used to compute the degrees of freedom.
We focus on the quadratic mean-variance functional form with local estimates from here forward for four reasons.
For multivariate analyses, PCA (unsupervised) and PCA-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA; supervised) were performed to facilitate the identification of segregation of the spectra, based on variance, by forming linear combinations of the wave numbers and ranking them in order of variance (Matlab 2012a; The Mathworks) (27, 28).
