It is a limitation of our study that due to the retrospective collection of baseline data from medical records a considerable proportion of this data is missing.
A considerable proportion of the data represents a longer distance range (>100 m), which has been lacking in the literature so far.
Also, a considerable proportion of the data in this study were from North Island stands planted before 1970 which are of significantly lower wood density possibly because of their genetics; the North Island stands planted after 1970 averaged 462 kg m−3, which is much closer to the North American average.
Second, there was a considerable proportion of missing data.
Mean estimates are not reported for the MGMM and LGMM methods because of a unique estimate not being available for a considerable proportion of simulated data sets.
Poor identification was observed in a considerable proportion of simulated data sets for instruments explaining up to 10% of the variance in the exposure with sample sizes up to 1 million.
While individual crystal structures can be requested by email, a considerable proportion of the raw data (in major journals) are only accessible in bulk by subscription.
Furthermore, most of the national studies that contributed to Interphone covered a wider age range (as low as 18 and/or up to 69 years) than the Interphone analyses (30 59 years), so a considerable proportion of the national data [e.g., 58% for Sweden (Lönn et al. 2005)] was not included in the overall pooled analyses.
This is due to the simple fact that BC data included a considerable proportion of non-shared markers, whereas in the RIL data, the proportion of such markers is close to zero.
