A large sample was assembled that allowed to study a wide set of variables and to explore characteristics among women separately.
Ascidian development includes a wide set of variable traits, defined merely as the morphological and behavioural features that are determined throughout the life cycle.
In light of this, we argue that Rotton and Cohn's hypothesis needs to be extended to truly capture people's responses to adverse weather, which encompasses a wider set of meteorological variables than temperature.
We performed 4 estimations with an incrementally wider set of confounding variables, and used the Akaike and Bayesian information criteria (AIC and BIC, respectively) to evaluate the performance of the model.
Asch et al [ 1], considered a wider set of explanatory variables (respondent characteristics: profession, age, gender; survey characteristics: reminders, anonymity, survey length, postage and use of financial incentives) and suggested that doctors had a lower response rate compared to non-doctors, and using written or telephone reminders was associated with a higher response.
We chose to use temperature and salinity at spawning time (but see also additional file 3 for analyses applying a wider set of closely related environmental variables) since this is as close as possible to the most critical time of the cod life-cycle, i.e. when the life stages (i.e. egg and larvae) have little option for actively avoiding unfavourable conditions (see also discussion in [ 61]).
Subsequently, preparation was started by carefully reviewing and selecting instruments to measure a wide set of health variables to answer the research questions.
In a clearly defined convenience sample of outpatients with stable systolic chronic heart failure (CHF), we could explore determinants of generic and disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) using a wide set of explanatory variables.
"A wider set of clients is interested".
Preferably, the experiment will cover a wider population and a wider set of sampling conditions.
