Consistent differences in measurement across taxa will not influence the slope of the regressions, but will influence the intercepts.
It should be easy and simple to measure, should be consistent in repetitive measurement, have a rationale for its use, present threshold values that are well documented, be correlated with the presence of illness and with its severity, have a reasonable cost, and finally be measurable in biological fluids that are easily achievable.
The result of the calculation is 0.84, meaning that these seven items are internally consistent in the measurement.
To be consistent in our measurements, we have to fix the order of combinations and masses involved in these combinations.
That leaves the observers with a percentage score that shows how consistent they are in measurement of the target behavior.
The concentrations of H2 measured in surface seawater during this cruise are consistent with measurements in other marine environments (e.g. the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic and Pacific Ocean) revealing a persistent supersaturation of dissolved H2 in the near-surface seawater (Scranton et al., 1982; Herr et al., 1984; Conrad and Seiler, 1988; Moore et al., 2009).
The finding of an acidic pH in the developing endolymphatic sac is consistent with measurements in the adult endolymphatic sac [26], [27], [28].
Of particular importance in determining the reliability of a model prediction is whether an output response maintains a consistent direction despite noise in measurement data.
Our observation of collagen reduction during leukemia development is consistent with measurements in bone marrow fibroblasts derived from patients with ALL.
The proposed relationships are shown to be consistent with measurements in literature at varying pressures, laminar flame speeds, turbulent intensities and mixture compositions.
This growth rate is consistent with measurements in Sugimoto et al. [30], and the duration of the simulation is comparable to the time from appearance of a patch of ROP to the start of swelling (a more exact comparison is not possible because the appropriate initial conditions are not known; we use homogeneous initial conditions for u x,t) and v x,t)).
