The ultimate goal, after testing the candidate markers presented here in a larger, rigorous case control classification study in patients with a well-defined type of lung disease will be to define valid markers that help with lung disease diagnosis, disease progression, or response to drug therapy.
Along the same lines, Shariat et al. [44] reported the need of a well-designed statistical evaluation in the context of defining valid bladder cancer biomarkers, while Behrens and colleagues proposed the validation of bladder cancer biomarkers particularly in prospective studies that meet epidemiological criteria [45].
If any voltage is out of the defined valid range, error or warning messages are generated.
Were the outcome measures (dependent variables) clearly defined, valid, reliable, and implemented consistently across all study participants?
In order to limit the number of candidates under consideration, however, we define valid permutations according to a number of simple linearisation rules.
On the contrary, GM data can be used to define valid types, especially in haft modules rather than whole points to control for resharpening allometry.
Whereas the algebraic values are elements of an algebraic structure and referents of formulas, the logical value true is used to define valid consequence: If every premise is true, then so is (at least one of) the conclusion(s).
One of the main focuses of clinical research now is to define valid and reliable biomarkers of disease onset and progression that can be of use in future treatment trials.
Benchmarking can be thought of as the process of defining valid measures of performance comparison among peer schools, using these to determine the relative standing of the peer schools, and ultimately in establishing standards of excellence for performance improvement.
