Missing values in Table 1 represent failed measurements, where the milk sample froze too early or did not freeze at all. Figure 4 Individual measurements at days 1, 4 and 7. From an analytical point of view, milk is a rather complicated sample.
These examples of success seem to be achieved particularly because the signature genes exhibit coherently similar expression pattern, and missing or failed measurements from some of the signature genes (due to malfunctioning probe, genetic polymorphism at probed site, etc).
Each patient received 10 successful LSMs (failed measurements were defined as SWV = "x.xx m/s") [ 40].
Data were filtered by rejecting samples with a failed EF1α measurement, an abundance <2x the value in control (no cell) wells, or a real-time PCR amplification efficiency less than 1.7 (calculated by LinRegPCR[18]).
The impact of a failed plate when longitudinal measurements are made may be larger as this prevents further measurements being made and calls into question prior measurements before the contamination was detected.
In case a measurement failed due to excessive motion of the body, a new reading automatically followed a few minutes later.
In the second strategy, patients also entered a cardiac rehabilitation program but now if patients failed, an ABI measurement at rest and post exercise was performed followed by diagnostic subtraction angiography or magnetic resonance angiography (proportion 1∶1) if PAD was present.
If the recording failed, a new measurement was automatically done after 2 min.
Unreliable cases or failed ARFI measurements were primarily derived from obese patients with poor transient apnea maneuvers.
In the study part II-A, one rater failed to perform 2 measurements with the standard goniometer, which necessitated sample size reduction of the appropriate subgroups.
