One of the key factors provided to the selection board is the Pilot Candidate Selection Method (PCSM) score. The PCSM weights a candidate's Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT) score, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flying hours, and a Basic Attributes Test (BAT) score to ...
Multivariate analysis was performed using the Elastic Net technique, a shrinkage regression method effective in case of several highly correlated variables38. The Elastic Net performs continuous variable selection causing some of the regression coefficients to be exactly zero, thus reducing the variance ...
We conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis for candidate genes in the top 1% genomic regions with signals of recent selection by iHS (Supplementary Tables9and10). The terms were selected according topvalue (<0.05). The results of the G...

Selection bias could have been introduced as we could not accept veterans currently on analgesics or anti-depressants; thus, those with more severe pain or depression may have been selectively excluded. Alternately, our sample may comprise a group of more seriously ill GWI veterans highly motivated...
2.2.2. Phase 3: Expert Consensus The preliminary set of candidate quality indicators was sent to 15 experts (see results infra). They were asked to score the quality indicators with "1" as "not appropriate" to "9" as "very appropriate" in order to measure the quality of palliative care...
