We used the generalized estimating equation for the analysis reported as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for every 10 mu g/m(3) increase and quartiles in PM2.5. Every 10 mu g/m(3) increase in levels of PM2.5 associated with acute upper respiratory infection (OR 1.02, 95%CI: ...
To find the value of the lower quartile (QL) given the upper quartile (QU) and the inter-quartile range (IQR), we can follow these steps:1. Identify the Given Values: - Upper Quartile (QU) = 55 - Inter-Quartile Range (IQR
Statistical analysis determined, with the median and interquartile range (IQR) for these proportions calculated subsequently. Linear mixed mod- elling, to allow for fixed (RPE) and random effects (within- participant) was used (SPSS v.23, Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Corp) to examine the ...
The question whether the global conversion of agriculture to Organic Farming (OF) systems would be able to supply the current and future demand for food and feed is the subject of scientific inquiry, public discussion, and political debate1,2,3. A rigorous analysis needs to distinguish between ...
Fig. 1. Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 Short Turn Around Time results by sex/age (A), race/ethnicity (B), and body mass index (C) lithium-heparin plasma samples on the cobas e 601 analyzer. Boxes represent interquartile range; upper/lower whiskers extend to maximum/minimum values, no more ...
The SI was calculated (Equation 1) between the intact and limb loss sides for step and stride length. 2.4.3. Statistical Analysis Normality was tested for using a Shapiro-Wilks test, and non-parametric analysis methods were determined to be appropriate. The described kinematic, kinetic, and ...
and the actual, and the path-length ratio computes the total path length the person’s limb has traveled. Another similar metric is the average inter-quartile range, which quantifies the average “spread” among several trajectories [15]. Balasubramanian et al. characterized movement accuracy as...

which was tackled by iteratively applying the steps of the EM algorithm (1), until the difference between two consecutive estimations was lower than 10−6for all parameters. The two estimated Gaussian distributions were then used to identify an optimal threshold,θ, that minimized the classificati...
The upper limb, the lower limb, and the red line in the box plot represent the upper quartile (h1), the lower quartile (h2), and the median value of over 2003–2006. The dotted line stretched from the box is the range between h1 − 1.5 (h2 − h1) and h2 + 1.5...
