Therefore, a change smaller than the SEM is likely to be the result of measurement error rather than a true observed change.
By using these parameters along with a strategy of reusing the best solution while the lighting demand does not change, smaller population sizes in the algorithm could be used.
The oligonucleotides selected were those which presented a two-fold increase or decrease in expression, i.e., a log-fold change smaller or equal to −1 for down-regulation, and greater or equal to 1 for up-regulation.
The overall objective of this study was to develop a novel tool that can translate a theoretical concept (vulnerability of water resources (VWR)) to an operational framework mainly under altered temperature and precipitation, as well as for population change (smaller extent).
As a result, a list of 15 genes was suggested with the most constant expression level, based on a coefficient of variation smaller than 4%, a maximum fold change smaller than 2 and a mean expression level lower than the maximum expression level minus 2 times the standard deviation.
Consequently, a change smaller than 5 points was considered to be no change.
Consequently, we considered a change smaller than 5 points to be no change.
Therefore, any change smaller than the MDC could be the result of the variability of the questionnaire.
