We did not estimate the functional OR repertoire size because the two estimated variables required to calculate it (i.e. the total number of OR genes and the proportion of those that are intact) already have substantial measurement errors, so that their multiplication would lead to an even more uncertain estimate.
This study considers the amino acid composition of tsetse flight muscle protein to be identical to the composition of vertebrate blood both based on the similarity of the second, fifth, and sixth columns of table 1 and because the differences between the two estimates of tsetse muscle protein composition are on the scale of their differences to vertebrate blood.
Although estimates of savings obtained by the sensitivity analysis conducted with European costs may appear lower than US savings, because the 95% CIs of the two estimates overlap, we cannot claim that estimates of cost savings differ significantly between the two different health care systems.
The average squared error (ASE) evolved at each step until final step 4 was reached and inclusion of factors terminated because the ten error estimates computed by cross-validation (CV PRESS) stopped showing a decrease using the "one-standard-error" rule.
This is because we consider only the two flanking estimates for each effect, whereas there is information in the other estimates that could potentially be taken into account.
Stated briefly, it is impossible to directly compare these two estimates because both the approach used and the amount of mercury assumed are fundamentally different in the two analyses.
Because the measure of total PM2.5 comprised two estimates with different spatial variability, it had little correlation with area SES characteristics, such as percent families living in poverty, and therefore the association between this metric and AMI may suffer less from residual confounding.
I calculated two estimates of pairwise relatedness, because the performance of different estimators varies depending on population composition [59].
These two estimates are disparate and because of the lack of fundamental research work on the river it is difficult to decide which corresponds best to the real situation.
Because the two samples were homogeneous, ORs were estimated, by conditional logistic regression, for the pooled sample of 200 trio families (Table 3).
