Well, for dementia, we have no idea, because the prevalence figure is given as 7.1% in the over-65s, with no allowance for error at all.
Not a single issuer in J.P. Morgan's EMBI+ index of emerging-market bonds saw spreads widen (chart 2).What began as a legitimate search for higher returns following a collapse in prices in many markets led to valuations that stretched the bounds of credulity and made little or no allowance for error.
Given the 5% allowance for error rate by PAPA, the 2.4% incorrect parentage assignment using 9 microsatellite markers seems to be within the margin allowed by the software.
We searched for unique kmers found only in male or female fish, with a minor allowance for sequencing errors (max two individuals).
The program selects sequences that are >80% identical (allowance for sequencing errors and polymorphisms) with the query sequence over >25 amino acid residues.
FixPred selects protein sequences that are >98% identical (allowance for sequencing errors and polymorphisms) with the query sequence over >25 residues, and these sequences are analyzed by the same MisPred tools as the ones that identified the query sequence as being suspicious.
And this sort of mutual trust, with its give-and-take and allowance for common error, cannot be supplanted by the ever more expensive techniques of arms-length supervision: audits, codes and performance league-tables.
This was based on a 95% confidence level, a ± 10% margin for error, a response distribution of 50% (which requires the largest sample size), and allowance of 10% for non-response and a conservatively estimated design effect of two.
But he should perhaps have made more allowance for Dr. Franklin's error.
Based on preliminary data with an allowance for type I error of 0.05 and a power of 80%, we calculated that a sample size of 51 volunteers was needed for this study.
