In addition our findings suggest early categorical posttreatment CTC-count status (<5 vs. ≥5 CTCs), already after one cycle of therapy, as an independent prognostic marker for PFS and OS, whereas continuous CTC-values displayed an inconsistent prognostic value.
There is alternative interpretation for an inconsistent target value: The stimulation may not be in the scope of what is being measured.
There is an alternative interpretation for an inconsistent source value: The stimulating effect may simply be delayed in case of a time series, where the stimulator (protein) needs time to accumulate, which may also happen during a period of constant or down-regulated gene expression of the stimulator.
The genetic distances of SNPs with empty value, inconsistent value, or zero were interpolated according to the physical coordinates of their flanking SNPs.
However, since such an estimation gives inconsistent values in some sectors, we made some modifications.
The proportion of inconsistent valuations was larger in the Netherlands study (10.7 %) than in the England study (8.3 %), although the association between setting and the propensity to give a pair of logically inconsistent values is not statistically significant at the 5%% level.
The empirical verification of the BI+MI based reconstruction for LGs with chromosome prints already available gave an exact match between "chromosome print" and "reconstructed chromosome print" in eight out of 10 cases, one with a single error and one with three, giving a total of only four inconsistent values out of 920.
Brand ties himself up in knots saying his lifestyle is not the issue, while castigating other people for their inconsistent values (never trust a judge, he says, because he knew one once who sentenced people for drugs offences while hooked on heroin).
Any procedural changes in staining the slides will give inconsistent values; therefore, all slides in a study should be ideally stained at the same time.
First, we quality-controlled the time series using a standard R package [ 44] to identify outliers and inconsistent values (e.g., minimum temperatures > maximum temperatures, negative precipitation values or negative frequency of dengue cases).
Since the STFT does not use window functions adjusted to the dispersion behavior of individual modes, drastic changes in the group delay can lead to inconsistent values using the STFT, whereas the CT can keep a high level of accuracy.
