Pressure reversal, although useful as an indicator of GA action, could never be used as a reliable criterion of GA effect.
Table 2 Severity ratings for a failure in railway rolling stock Rating Effect Criteria Severity of effect 1 None No disruption No effect 2 Very minor Minor disruption to rail services An inspection is carried out.
The criterion of ceiling effects below 15% was achieved in all domains.
A criterion for evidence of effect based on a majority of endpoints has been accepted in other research fields.
Under the heading 'Efficacy', the second sentence currently reads: "Three criteria out of four were achieved in the majority of patients, as shown by 97.5%, 73.6% and 69.8% of subjects achieving the criterion of magnitude of effect, tolerance (absence of severe related AEs) and subject's CGI, respectively".
This sentence should read: "Three criteria out of four were achieved in the majority of patients, as shown by 73.6%, 97.5% and 69.8% of subjects achieving the criterion of magnitude of effect, tolerance (absence of severe related AEs) and subject's CGI, respectively".
Thus, we chose the secondary criteria of its effect upon the pseudo-R2; variables that explained a greater proportion of variance were added first.
According to clinical cure and improvement standards, the criteria of curative effect were as follow: score-reducing rate > 75% was recovery, 50 ~ 75% meant significant improvement, 25% ~ 49% stood for improvement and <25% as ineffectiveness.
It should be noted that no absolute criteria for evaluation of effect sizes exist and seemingly small effects might be practically and theoretically important (McCartney & Rosenthal, 2000).
The measure is simple to interpret, has clinical and public health relevance, and is a natural preservation-of-effect criterion for assessing statistical non-inferiority.
