This failure to replicate has been attributed to a number of factors, including chance observations due to small sample size, concerns about study quality and transparency in reporting, lack of robustness or generalization of the original findings, and publication bias [see Brunner et al. for a discussion of statistical ramifications associated with publication bias (Brunner et al., 2012)].
Any subsequent chance performance could then be attributed to a lack of learning.
All values are in counts To test whether the occurrence of compound microsatellites can be attributed to mere chance, we determined whether microsatellites tend to aggregate with respect to an assumed random distribution of microsatellites in the genome.
However, since Bcl-2 did not correlate with treatment outcome, this observation may be attributed to chance rather than a true biologic phenomenon.
