However, the study reached the required statistical power to demonstrate concordance of the methods being analyzed by the statistical approach selected.
Thus, the observed concordance of these methods for the detection of delE746-A750 was 100%%.
The concordance of the PEAarea method with measurements of LV d P/d tmax suggests that this new, operator-independent algorithm is a reliable means of CRT optimization.
The concordant positive and negative findings (overall concordance) of the two methods were calculated on group level as well as on species specific level.
Little is known about the concordance of these methods.
The comparative study of the antibacterial activity result of the tested oils obtained by the disc diffusion method with the results obtained by micro-well dilution showed for some species a concordance of the two methods and discordance for others, especially against the Gram positive (Gram, S. aureus (278).
Among the 148 intestinal samples from piglets with diarrhea, 136 and 118 were positive based on the TaqMan and conventional RT-PCR methods, respectively, indicating that the TaqMan RT-PCR was more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR, and the total concordance of the two methods was approximately 87.84%.
However, the concordance of the two methods varies from one data set to another.
Among 274 spoligotype-defined isolates, two shared a fully identical genotype, indicating a concordance of the genotyping methods used, that is, spoligotyping, 24-locus MIRU-VNTR and IS 6110-RFLP.
The grade of concordance of the different sampling methods was established with the concordance index of Cohen's Kappa, κ = (P0 - Pe)/ 1- Pe), P0 =(a + d)/ n and Pe = [(a + b)(a + c)+(c + d)(b + d)]/ n.
