Second, because of large variances of the mass intensities of molecules among individual tissue samples, a method to semi-quantify their signals and to compare these among individual samples should be developed.
In contrast with the original study, we found the lower proportion of Bacteroidetes in obese (relative abundances are 29.80% and 21.73% in lean and obese individuals) not to be significant because of large variances within the two groups under comparison.
The rate of decline could be great because of the possibility of large variance in reproductive success in species like razorback sucker (Hedgecock 1994), or because of nonrandom sampling of larvae for rearing in protective custody.
Because of the large variance and scale of the microblog metric variables, we use their natural logs in the model.
Because of the large variance in the LD estimates of any SNP pair, the marker pairs were discretized in classes of 25 kb physical distance, and the r values were averaged by class to reduce the effect of outliers, as proposed by Mather et al. [ 14].
In general, the random effects model was preferred because of the large variance within and between samples as well as the effects of several very large database studies that may have introduced bias.
The paired Student's t test was used in Figure 1 (only) because of a large variance in the basal GLP-1 secretion in the absence of indole as a consequence of different plating densities used when plating GLUtag cells on the secretion plate.
Subpopulation J6, in which extremes were pooled, was not significantly different from the three other intermediate subpopulations, probably because of its large variance.
Macro-Raman was chosen because of the large variance in spectra intensity observed for micro-sampling (up to 10 times difference), and as our SWCNT sheet samples were rather large, macro-Raman was more appropriate to average over differences caused by local differences, such as surface corrugation.
This is likely because of the large variance (i.e., low precision) in D* estimate (Figs. 1, 2, and 4b).
