Various categorizations (e.g., quartiles, users non-users) were applied for the dairy variables.
Associations are well established between various categorizations of occupation and related social class and cardiovascular risk factors [ 5– 9].
Separate χ2 analyses were performed for these three different levels of timeliness problems for the purposes of understanding the impact of the various categorizations on the conclusions.
One person was responsible for all categorization, and thus no reliability of categorization was possible (though some assistance was requested from colleagues for various categorizations, this was not done in a systematic way).
The included studies were conducted among different populations, mostly along with various categorizations of beverages and foods, which could confound our analysis on the specific link between the temperature of beverages and foods and the risk of EC.
Moreover, no significant associations were found between dystocia at term and any of the various categorizations of violence: i) 'threat of violence' OR 0.97, 95%CI (0.79-1.18), ii) 'physical violence' OR 0.93, 95%CI (0.78-1.11), iii) 'sexual violence' OR 1.18, 95%CI (0.85-1.62) and iv) 'serious violence' OR 1.00, 95%CI (0.81-1.23).
Because we wanted to investigate the effect of leptin as a possible growth factor independent of body fat, we performed several analyses adjusting for BMI, mammographic nondense area (representing breast fat) and waist circumference one at a time or together, and with various categorizations of the variables.
The sentiment (tone, opinion) has been assessed using several categorization schemes in order to explore the various aspects of language used in the annual reports of US companies.
This simple discretization method was amongst the most powerful when considering various gene categorization methods in our accompanying experimental analysis and was the simplest to implement in silico.
These various systems of categorization were eventually integrated, so that categories from one could be translated into the others.
