The phrase "a detectable difference" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing variations or changes that can be observed or measured in a particular context.
Example: "After conducting the experiment, we found a detectable difference in the results between the two groups."
Alternatives: "an observable difference" or "a noticeable difference".
Tissue specific expression analysis of the immunological relevance score demonstrated that there is a detectable difference among different tissues in the expression of immune genes.
The absence of a detectable difference suggests equivalence, but proof of equivalence would require a different sample size.
The median DFS for all 14 patients did not differ significantly from the entire cohort (52 months), nor was there a detectable difference between those with mucinous or nonmucinous tumours.
In other industries, however, there was not a detectable difference in job or payroll growth between the winning and losing counties.
It doesn't have iconic significance.Jump to the conservative end of the spectrum, and there was a detectable difference, with anchors and guests much more ready to discuss the possibility of Middle Eastern terrorism, possible links to al-Qaeda and the reports of a Saudi Arabian student being guarded by police as he underwent treatment at a Boston-area hospital.
One of these (Marker-5) produced a detectable difference between XX, XY, and YY individuals.
Designing a CRCT with a fixed number of clusters might mean that the study will not be feasible, leading to the notion of a minimum detectable difference (or a maximum achievable power), irrespective of how many individuals are included within each cluster.
For the third phase, a significance level of 0.05, power of 0.8 and a minimal detectable difference of 0.5 and an expected drop-out of 15% was set, which resulted according to the design in two arms of 74 patients each [ 52].
If dropout is lower, for example, 20% then this sample size allows for a larger intra-cluster correlation or a small detectable difference.
For the six measures on which there was a statistically significant benefit for the active medication, four of the effect sizes (glucose control, weight control, appetite control, and treatment satisfaction) met the one-half SD criterion for a "minimally detectable difference" (21), the criterion representing a "moderate" effect (22).
The t-test was used for the change in mean scores over time (represented in baseline standard deviation units to permit an assessment of effect size [ 31]); smaller change indicates greater reliability, and a difference of >0.5 standard deviation units indicates a minimum detectable difference [ 32].
