Rather than calculating gender gaps by means of a quotient of proportions, gaps in the MGEI are expressed in absolute terms (differences in proportions).
For both F2 populations, the difference between pollen sterility and spikelet sterility was statistically significant, but in absolute terms the difference was small (+4% and −4%).
In absolute terms, the difference was small (1 neighbor) and very small compared to orthographic neighborhood size differences used in studies which found a neighborhood size effect on brain activation (e.g., [66], [67]).
Overall, the mean age of onset was older among sporadic cases compared with familial (t = 3.909, df = 15,503, P = 4.7 × 10−5), but in absolute terms, the difference was less than 1 year.
In absolute terms, irradiance differences decreased with depth (Fig. 2a c), whereas relative differences between both Alu and White and Alu and Black could reach between 200 and 300% in the region 500 650 nm in the deeper part of the water column.
Changes in levels of distress were significantly different between the two groups, but in absolute terms the differences were not large.
But in absolute terms, the differences in nutrient content between the bar and the cookies may be significant.
These findings were not only statistically significant, but in absolute terms, the differences were quite large.
In absolute terms, the differences in changes between voucher and non-voucher sites were greater for safe motherhood than for family planning services.
