What's the difference between polytomous and polytomy?
Polytomous
Definition:
(a.) Subdivided into many distinct subordinate parts, which, however, not being jointed to the petiole, are not true leaflets; -- said of leaves.
Example Sentences:
(1) For the special case with missing entries only in the polytomous variables, a full maximum likelihood estimate is obtained with the help of an appropriate one-one onto transformation that significantly simplifies the computational burden.
(2) The localization of lesion, in the anterior horn and body of right lateral ventricle, producing primary intraventricular bleeding was revealed by pneumoencephalography, especially polytome pneumotomography.
(3) Among the patients with characteristic symptoms of TMJ dysfunction examined in our Departments, a group of hundred were tomographed (Polytom--Philips-Massiot).
(4) Procedures to analyse confounded, polytomous and interacting risk factors are proposed and it shown that there is a simple relationship between two distinct estimators previously suggested for use with deleterious and beneficial (or preventive) factors.
(5) In each patient, some bone fragments could be seen more discreetly on coronal computed tomography than on conventional polytomes.
(6) A two-part accessory table for use with the Philips Polytome is described.
(7) Polytome tomography with metrizamide instillation through lateral cervical puncture was highly diagnostic, whereas, ordinary X-ray with lumbar instillation yielded less satisfactory results.
(8) The tomograph which has been used is an Italian one (Eurostrator-Zuder, Genoa) provided with complex radiation movements (circular, spiral) and which gives technical resutlts such as the Polytom (generally used for these researches) but which has a focus film distance of 1m instead of 1.40 m. The average incident dose on the erystalline lens is high (11.7 R): the use of the Pb-diaphragm reduces the dose considerably (0.65 R) without any significant imperfections on the radiological image.
(9) Several applications of the polytomous logistic regression model are discussed.
(10) Then we investigate repeated tests when we have polytomous disease levels and polytomous diagnostic levels.
(11) The stage at diagnosis was treated as a polytomous response variable in a logit-type, log-linear (Poisson) model, with smoking status, age, sex, and race as covariates.
(12) In patients with unexplained low back pain, AVN of the hip should be considered and ruled out by MRI, even if conventional plain films, polytomes, and radionuclide scans are negative.
(13) Although odds ratios are still useful for summarizing effects on polytomous dependent variables, greater caution must be exercised to avoid misleading interpretations.
(14) Polytomes demonstrated a progressive erosion of the right auditory meatus.
(15) Next, the extension to the polytomous case is demonstrated.
(16) All had abnormal sella polytomes or visual fields, amenorrhea with low basal serum gonadotropin levels despite decreased serum estradiol concentrations, and elevated basal serum PRL levels with blunted PRL response to neuroendocrine stimulation tests )thyrotropin-releasing hormone, levodopa, chlorpromazine, and hypoglycemia).
(17) The probability of being at any given level of the Index of Definition (computed from PSE data) is estimated from the General Health Questionnaire total score by an ordered polytomous logistic regression model.
(18) The polytome should be used as an adjunct to conventional roentgenograms of the temporal bone and not as a substitute.
(19) When such variables are continuous or polytomous, and a dose-response relationship exists, it is concluded that power may be increased by including individuals who are discordant on their responses.
(20) For the general case with missing entries in both continuous and polytomous variables, a pseudo maximum likelihood method, and a partition pseudo maximum likelihood are developed.
