The relative sensitivity and specificity of PCR versus IHC were evaluated using two criteria of interpretation: A) considering positive only samples with "outcome 1" (strict interpretation), or B) considering positive samples with "outcome 1 or 2" (permissive interpretation).
HIV results of individual samples were recorded after reading by two different laboratory technologists according to manufacturer's criteria for interpretation of positive, negative or inconclusive results.
The purpose of this paper is to establish acceptance criteria for interpretation of the internal inspection results of undersea pipelines.
It has also become crucial to apply objective criteria of interpretation like the criteria described here: sex-specific side effects or non-linear ones.
The level of agreement between reviewers was evaluated using Cohen's weighted κ [44], and using the Landis and Koch criteria for interpretation [45].
The Gompertz function was selected to describe kernel growth based on information criteria, biological interpretation of the parameters, and computational ease.
Detailed mechanical modelling, analytical and numerical derivation of stability criteria, physical interpretation of buckling shapes, numerical code implementation, and experimental validations of selected simulations are addressed.
The reviewers used standardized forms to document each component of the risk-of-bias appraisal, and inter-observer agreement between reviewers was evaluated using Cohen's weighted κ [44], again using the Landis and Koch criteria for interpretation [45].
Furthermore, comparing the models based on the criteria of interpretation, reproduction, and generalization indicated that the error components logit model can be effective in dealing with cross correlations among alternatives.
Therefore, we review the guidance given in 4 disciplines (laboratory medicine, pharmacy, environment, and food), with emphasis on the proposed experimental protocols, acceptance criteria and interpretation strategies by statistical significance testing.
