This paper briefly reviews the most frequently used and misused intraclass correlation analysis of variance (ANOVA) reliability measures. Recommendations are made for the one-way ANOVA intraclass correlation and against the use of several coefficients: Winer's so-called "anchor point method," KuderRichardson Formula Number 20, and the Spearman-Brown prediction formula. The computation of the in...

Methods Study was conducted in ART centre, IMS, BHU. Patients who failed on first line ART (NACO criteria) were included in the study after consent.

closely controlled. The multi-infarct group had an -intermediate mean plasma carotene concentration and showed no significant correlation between plasma carotene and plasma vitamin A concentrations (Spearman coefficient 0 32). These findings very probably result from including patients who also have Alzheimer's disease in the multi-infarct group.5 The cause of carotenaemia in Alzheimer's diseas...

Use the method of spearman correlation analysis and dynamic clustering to delete indicators and build an evaluation index system of the green industry. The specialties and contributions of this paper lie in three aspects. Firstly, screen indicators according to the different effects on the clustering results of the evaluation objects from having or not having specific indicators, and delete the...
