Conclusions: Both devices demonstrated statistically significant pain reduction in comparison to baseline, with concordance across multiple indices.
Using a multi-scale design, we investigated the spatio-temporal variability and concordance across recruitment stages of the Mediterranean fleshy-fruited shrub Daphne gnidium.
Validation studies across 190 dried blood spots demonstrated 100% sensitivity and a positive predictive value of 100% for single-nucleotide variants and insertions and deletions and complete concordance across the polymorphic poly-TG and consecutive poly-T tracts.
However, the significant concordance across multiple provides independent validation.
Concordance across laboratories was required for every positive and negative control as well as for each study sample.
Concordance across two distantly related mammalian species suggests that the mosaic structure of coexpression domains is broadly conserved across mammals.
Fold-change, as a ranking metric, had a better concordance across platforms than p-values from statistical tests [42].
Duplicates and CEPH controls run within and between plates were verified for concordance across runs (average concordance 98.8% for all SNPs across all plates).
Concordance across laboratories was achieved in the initial round of real-time RT-PCR assays for all positive and negative results with the exception of a single study sample, an ileal biopsy from a control.
As would be suggested by the poor concordance across these tests, the κ−score for correlations between the methods were low (0.09 0.40), except between the related Critchlow coefficients, rb and r (κ score = 0.68).
Except for K20R which was detected by pyrosequencing only, 17 clinical, minor protease DR mutations were detected by both methods with extremely high concordance across a broad range of rates (Figure 5).
