Sentence examples for deviations were flagged from inspiring English sources

Spot features where foreground was less than background plus two standard deviations were flagged as lowly expressed.

Weight measures with residuals in the extreme tails of the distribution, i.e., +/− 5 standard deviations were flagged for consideration for exclusion.

Present calls were determined as signals that were greater than the mean of the random 70 mer oligonucleotide negative controls plus three times the standard deviation (signals within the range of three standard deviations were flagged).

All spots with a mean signal of less than background plus two standard deviations were flagged and were also excluded from differential expression analyses.

Positions in the alignment where the difference in means (psychrophile proteins – mesophile proteins) between the two groups exceeded the sum of the standard deviations were flagged as sites of significant deviation.

Spots with median signal intensities less than the trimmed mean (trim = 5%) plus three trimmed standard deviations of the 3xSLv1 probe were flagged.

Spots with median signal intensities less than the trimmed mean plus three trimmed standard deviations of these negative controls were flagged as absent.

Probes with signal intensities in both channels greater than two standard deviations from the background signal were flagged as present, and other irregular or low-quality spots were manually flagged.

Background fluorescence was measured using the 3xSLv1 negative control probes; probes with median signal intensities less than the trimmed mean (trim = 5%) plus three trimmed standard deviations of the 3xSLv1 probes were flagged as absent (within the background signal).

Results were reported as the average of five replicate measurements per sample, and samples with relative standard deviation > 30% for the five replicates were flagged.

Clones were flagged, if they were outside the range of two times the standard deviation; these flagged clones were excluded from later statistical analysis.
