This effect will be especially marked when the random error of the sample means results in this value appearing slightly outside the range of variation of the remaining sample means, i.e. when the ill-estimated mean presents higher average between-group variance with the other samples than the overall between-group variance for the comparative series.
When using the same signature to differentiate between AD and other samples of MCI patients, the occurrence of more errors is an expected outcome (Table 9).
Significant differences between control and other samples were indicated by one (P ≤ 0.05) or two (P ≤0.01) asterisks.
We are not sure if this is due to the batch effect or if this reflected the real differences between rNO and other samples.
To identify probe sets expressed preferentially in pollen as compared with sporophytic tissues, we measured the relative ratio between pollen and other samples using the following equation: where P, S, R and L represent the expression level of a given gene in pollen, callus cells, roots and leaves, respectively.
From the 407 gene set, it was clear that the distinctions between slender and all other samples were greater than the distinctions between the samples derived from within the differentiation time course.
Considering fixed sampling frequency, Euclidean distance between each sample and other samples of a considered sliding window varies when a change occurs.
This variation between S8 and the other samples can be explained by the difference in burial environments: objects S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 and S7 come from Saint Martin's Church, whereas object S8 comes from the Gallo-Roman site of Rezé.
The λ values between CEU and the other samples (Table 2) were smaller than those obtained using the Northern German sample as a reference, chosen as the nearest to the origin of CEU sample, and the correlation between geography and λ with CEU was only r2 = 0.251 (p-value 0.017).
Initially they found 11 differentially expressed genes between autoimmune hepatitis and other samples.
