Sentence examples for confidence interval size from inspiring English sources

The use of LOESS methods lowered QSS estimates and decreased confidence interval size.

The inclusion of time-stratified and antecedent flow indices further decreased QSS estimates, but increased confidence interval size.

To quantify this relationship, correlations between prediction error and confidence interval size for the stories shown in Figure 12 are 0.76, 0.96 and 0.66 for submitter fans, other fans and non-fans, respectively.

In our study, the average confidence interval size for QTL detected in ISA was 6 cM (∼18 kb).

This technique tends to under-estimate confidence interval sizes, and others [ 21] have suggested using a 2-LOD support interval to ensure reaching a 95percentt confidence interval.

It remains a challenge both (i) to understand underlying mechanisms and identify the candidate genes involved, and (ii) to reduce QTLs confidence interval sizes and develop breeding programs using powerful molecular markers.

The confidence interval sizes ranged from 1 cM (QTL for WG on Gallus gallus chromosome GGA22) to 18 cM (T° on GGA18) with a mean of 5.9 cM, which is much smaller than the values usually obtained when using microsatellites only (12 cM on average between markers that flank the QTL).

On GGA24, the three detected QTL for LES, PC and composite variable F1 were positioned at the same location i.e. 4 cM, while on GGA19, three QTL were detected at 19 cM and one at 25 cM with various confidence interval sizes i.e. 18 20 cM containing QTL for LES and PC, 20 29 cM containing a QTL for HEMA and 18 28 cM containing a QTL for composite variable F1 (Table  1).

CI: confidence interval; sample size; number of twin pairs.

CI: confidence interval; sample size; number of twin pairs Fig. 5 Pooled within monozygotic (MZ) twin pair correlations for waist-to-hip ratio in response to physical activity.
