Thus, on the basis of statistical test using two-way ANOVA it could be concluded that the LMP concentration and storage time induced non-significant changes in color density (Table 3), demonstrating that this parameter was not only stable in response to processing but were also stable during long-term storage.
Concerning the first finding; the evidence that PPC was functionally relevant prior to MFG on the basis of statistical tests may have been due to statistical power differences.
Such mappings allow us to examine sets of events that may have led to the coevolution of the host and parasite phylogenies and are the basis of statistical tests for assessing congruence.
The first signature comprised 74 genes identified on the basis of statistical tests for differential expression in each biological condition whose results were combined by Fisher's summary statistic (Additional File 2, Figure. S2A; gene list as Additional File 3, Table S1).
The basis for this approach is the Neyman-Pearson theory of statistical testing, according to which hypotheses are subjected to test by attempting to test an appropriate null hypothesis.
30 31 However, excluding inconsistency on the basis of the results of statistical tests is difficult because the results may suggest no major inconsistency although it may be present.
Randomization avoids bias (whether conscious or unconscious); with randomized allocation, predictive factors (known and unknown) tend on average to be balanced between treatment groups.3,8,11 Also, randomization provides a valid basis for statistical tests of significance.3 These concepts are discussed further later.
However, with the increase in the number of SNPs and consequently the number of statistical tests it can be expected on the basis of pure chance that a large number of SNPs will show significant associations.
Although a detailed discussion of statistical tests of validity is beyond the scope of this review, the assessments provide a basis from which to begin an analysis of the validity of the Charlson Index.
Independently, IBAS predicted FGF17 and IL17RD as the two top candidates in the entire proteome on the basis of a statistical test of their protein-protein interaction patterns to proteins known to be altered in CHH.
