Since the calculation of LDL cholesterol in T1DM patients has been shown to be less reliable, non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as well [ 17].
Internal consistency reliability calculated as Cronbach's alpha was 0.92, i.e., highly reliable.
For each of the predicted TF→miRNA associations, scores (PCCs) were calculated as an indicator of how reliable the predicted association is, and as a measure of the strength of the association within the context of monocytic differentiation.
Finally, participants' self-reported duration of diabetes, and height and weight values when calculating BMI might not be as reliable as measurements taken from official medical records.
To get reliable data, all individual results were calculated as a mean from three separate measurements.
CRC, a reliable index of mPTP sensitivity [47], was calculated as total amount of Ca2+ taken up by mitochondria prior to Ca2+ release.
The final confidence score is calculated as follows: (5) A confidence score close to one indicates a reliable prediction, whereas a score close to zero indicates that YLoc is less confident about the given prediction.
The early portion of the waveform often contained a negative shift; to provide a more reliable measure of N2 amplitude, the peak was calculated as the difference in amplitude between the N2 and the preceding positive peak.
Due to the unavailability of reliable data on import prices from each supplier, the unit import value, calculated as import expenditure divided by imported quantity, was used as a proxy for import prices.
HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) was calculated as [FSI (μU/ml) × FBG (mmol/l)]/22.5] [ 33] and has been shown to be a reliable estimate of insulin resistance both among diabetic and non diabetic subjects [ 34, 35].
