The assay was considered precise if the %CV of PC endpoint log10 titer from each set of PCs (intra-assay) and all accepted applicable runs (inter-assay) were < 30%.
"Israel's rhetoric is all about precision attacks, but attacks with no military target and many civilian deaths can hardly be considered precise," Sarah Leah Whitson, the watchdog's Middle East director said in a statement.
Therefore, in this study, the sample size for influenza-A (397 hospitalization and 5267 total cases) and pandemic H1N1 (182 hospitalizations and 2126 total cases) meets the criteria and the estimated CFR of 0.49 and 0.86% respectively can be considered precise at 95% confidence interval.
The values and ages should not be considered precise predictions.
Due to heterogeneity across cohorts, this estimate cannot be considered precise, but does indicate that an association with infant growth is present on average.
We report details of margin status and distance to margins in the present analysis, but would note that the evaluation of this feature and, in particularly, the measurement of distance to margins cannot be considered precise.
These values were quite satisfactory and meet the requirements of the (European Commission 2000) (Tables 1), indicating that a method can be considered accurate and precise when the accuracy of data is between 70 and 110%%.
ACS 3-year estimates involve 36 months of collected data, are generally provided for areas with a population of 20,000+, are considered more precise than 1-year estimates, and involve a larger sample size [ 14].
Generic measures are considered less precise than disease-specific in their ability to assess the different aspects of a disease, but these measures may capture unanticipated side effects of therapies.
Results with a small bias that are also very precise are considered highly accurate; that is, the average result is close to the true value and the data spread (standard deviation) is small.
