Our results show that outlying degree methods may be a useful alternative to the Zscore or Rscore in a personalized medicine context especially in small to medium sized (between 10 and 50 samples) expression datasets with moderate to high sample-to-sample variability.
These choices were according to Mattoon et al. [ 19] that recommended a 7.5 MHz frequency for ultrasound examinations in small dogs and cats, and with Cheida et al. [ 20] that classified the coatis as small to medium sized animals, weighing between 2.7 to 10 kg.
Cut fish into medium sized pieces.
Three of these towns were large (population between 100,000 and 900,000 inhabitants) and one was medium sized (population between 50,001 and 100,000 inhabitants) [ 20].
Assuming statistical power of (1-β) = .80, type-I error probability of α = .05, and a correlation between covariate and outcome of ρ = .6, a total sample size of N = 84 is required to detect medium sized effects between groups [ 29].
With a sample of 100 participants per group we will be able to observe a medium sized difference between three treatment groups in our primary outcome, caregiver's perceived social support (Social Support Survey, mean 73.3, SD 20.8) (80% power, P < .05 significance) [ 62].
Results also showed convergent validity with a traditional alphabetization self-report measure, and medium sized correlations (.34 .50) between information, formal and strategic skills and measures of Internet use for recreation, information search and occupational purposes.
The majority (10) of studies surveyed had medium sized samples of between 123 and 551, indicating attempts to achieve a representative population.
On the other hand, the differentiation between the three smaller size classes (medium sized, miniature and toy) is much lower, with FST values at least 6.8 times smaller than the smallest value observed between any of them and standard poodles.
Plastic, medium sized bowl.
