Introduction to bivariate analysis. â¢ When one measurement is made on each observation, univariate. analysis is applied. If more than one measurement is made on each observation, multivariate analysis is applied. In this section, we focus on bivariate analysis, where exactly two. measurements are made on each observation. The two measurements will be called X and Y . Since X and Y. are obtained for each observation, the data for one observation. is the pair (X,Y ).
Also known as: Stasis syndrome and Stagnant loop syndrome. Blind loop syndrome occurs when digested food slows or stops moving through part of the intestines. This causes an overgrowth of bacteria in the intestines. It also leads to problems absorbing nutrients. The name of this condition refers to the blind loop formed by part of the intestine that is bypassed.
The natural blind spot (scotoma) is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. There can also be artificial blind spots when something blocks light from reaching the photoreceptors, or when there is local adaptation of the retina as just after seeing a bright light. Blindness is absence of seeing.
