For example in one experiment the gain in coefficient of determination of GEBV for bulls in a validation data set on their daughter deviations for net merit (R) was investigated as the number of bulls in the reference set increased from 1151 bulls to 3576 bulls [ 2].
The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are calculated for each validation fold and the mean and standard deviation were used as figures of merit.
The spectral output from the spectral light engine was optimized through an iterative process where the figure of merit was the standard deviation of the differences squared.
In our experiments, the average difference between the genetic merit of the bovine embryo and of the corresponding calf was 106 ± 68 pts of LPI, which is only about one seventh of the population averaged standard deviation for LPI.
Here we study GLAD-UTLC plate performance in terms of migration distance, plate number, retention factor and a figure of merit specific to GLAD-UTLC, track deviation angle.
For each particular pair of onset detection and selection function plus either the manual correction or the interactive scheme at issue, the figure of merit shows the average and standard deviation of the 25 selection function configurations.
Merit figures of results such as a relative standard deviation of 1.0% (n=6) and a reagent consumption of 21.4 mg IO3− per determination were obtained.
Figures 2 and 3 present the mean values of the figures of merit (Vth and on/off current ratio) along with standard deviations depicted by error bars.
The method was validated according the appropriate regulations through the estimate of figures of merit, such as trueness, precision, linearity, analytical sensitivity, bias and residual prediction deviation (RPD).
Any heterodoxy or deviation from the tight parameters of the IS's definition of a protected people appears to merit, in the minds of its leadership and foot soldiers, eradication to create a pure religious state.
