The dependent variable relies on the independent variable, meaning that as the value of the independent variable changes, then the dependent variable will change also. What is an independent variable easy definition? Simply put, an independent variable is the variable that doesn't rely on anything...
Definition A conceptual independent variable is one that a researcher may "think up" or conceptualize prior to performing a study. The conceptual independent variable is the one that the researcher truly wants to measure. For example, intelligence researchers are interested in the "g-factor," which...
A dependent variable is the variable that you observe and measure. You have no control over the dependent variable; you want to observe what happens to the dependent variable when you change the independent variable. For example, if the child is testing the effects of light on plant growth, ...
behind a single denomination, NDDs encompass a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, arising from a large and heterogeneous set of rare disorders, from monogenic, Mendelian disorders to non-syndromic presentations with variable expression of traits. Providing ...
In this instance, the variable fragment would encode a gene of interest [1-GOI (X1)] that is recombined into the ccdB+cmR site in a vector that contains a promoter [e.g., ran (PN)] and an antibiotic resistance gene [e.g., puromycin resistance (RP)]. A 2-fragment GATEWAY strategy...
variable representations, they can reveal experimental characteristics, as well as artefacts or bias. Sometimes, however, PCA can fail to accurately reflect our knowledge of biology for the following reasons: a) PCA assumes that gene expression follows a multivariate normal distribution and recent ...
We explore several configurations for the OOV model, the best of which utilizes a set of domain-independent, automatically derived, variable-length units. The units are created using an iterative bottom-up procedure where, at each iteration, the unit pairs with maximum mutual information are ...
When performing combined motor tasks, we found that for a fixed reach and a variable saccade (Saccade Var -Reach Fix ; Fig. 2B, left), discrimination performance increased only at the variable saccade target (p < 0.01, d = 1.53). Performance at the fixed reach target, however, ...
(VT)) normalization and statistical framework (linear models with fixed-only or mixed effects; using the methylation values as the dependent variable or their logit-tranformations; using LRTs or robust Wald tests) and cell type heterogeneity correction (principal component analysis; measured); they ...
While the cell type composition is known to be variable in brains, it remains unclear how it contributes to the temporal and pathological transcriptome changes in brains. Here, we applied a transcriptome deconvolution procedure to an age series RNA-seq dataset of healthy and autism samples, to ...
