The results identified a set of 44 potential biomarkers (Table 4) that distinguish lung cancer from controls across a range of comparisons in the training set while minimizing potential preanalytical variability – artifacts introduced by variations in sample collection and storage (see below) [28], [29].
A shared limitation of all three studies was the lack of adjustment for the potential imbalance of a range of prognostic features across comparison groups, also termed 'confounding by indication'.
FDR correction was then applied to correct for multiple comparisons across a range of degrees, in line with a similar analysis in the literature (van den Heuvel et al., 2013).
The groups differed significantly with regard to movement velocity, acceleration, displacement, smoothness and rmsEMG amplitude in agonist and antagonist muscles for a series of comparisons across the test conditions (range 17 – 121%, all p-values < 0.05).
In comparison, the larger regional grouping of the PATF was not highly linked to the mental health services, possibly because the Taskforce had a broad remit across a range of issues across the whole region.
She sees a range of demands from investors; using standards helps with comparisons.
NMA extends the concept of a traditional meta-analysis by including multiple pairwise comparisons across a range of interventions and provides estimates of the relative treatment effect on multiple treatment comparisons by using a chain of evidence that links treatments of interest.
For each agent, tamponade efficacy was assessed across a range of percentage fills, and comparison was made between the two model eye chambers.
Furthermore, multiple different pairwise comparisons across a range of different interventions can be combined into network meta-analysis (also known as mixed treatment comparisons or multiple treatment meta-analyses) [ 58, 59].
When things go according to plan, these websites can be a boon to the DIY traveller, offering price comparisons across a range of airlines and deals that often work out cheaper than booking directly through the carrier.
In order to make comparisons across a range of ethnic groups, very large samples of each group are needed.
