The coefficient of error of each measurement was calculated and the mean was 0.108.
The mean coefficient of error was 0.076 for the spiral ganglion estimates, and 0.091 for the vestibular ganglion estimates.
We confirmed that forced running increased the cholinergic neuronal profile subpopulation in the HDB (Coefficient of Error < 0.2).
Statistical error (coefficient of error, CE), the variability associated with the stereological procedure, is provided for most described estimators (with or without the use of the proportionator).
The precision was twice the coefficient of variation, and the LSC was computed as 1.96 times the square root time the coefficient of error [18].
Since Doppler parameters were averaged during one minute before and after fluid administration, precision was determined by the coefficient of error (CE = CV/√N, where N = 6 is the number of measurements) and LSC as 2√2 × CE [28].
This contrasts with the Dirichlet case where both quadratic and linear treatments give O Δ2) error, although the coefficient of error may be much larger for the linear case.
This precision or reproducibility is often referred to as the coefficient of error of the estimate, which is a statistical expression for the size of the standard error of the mean of repeated estimates, relative to the mean of the estimates.
It is shown that for the linear case the coefficient of error is in general large enough to dominate the calculation and that therefore it is necessary to use a quadratic boundary treatment in order to obtain errors comparable with those obtained for a regular domain.
The coefficient of error ranged between 0.08 and 0.09.
