Sentence examples for diminished sample size from inspiring English sources

Despite the resulting diminished sample size in each group, we demonstrate enhanced diagnostic performance of the direct MS method using the well-validated receiver operator curve characteristics.

The observed association became slightly stronger despite diminished sample size (n = 3,504) when adjusted for history of smoking intensity, including pack-years at baseline and pack-years smoked during follow-up.

Despite the diminished sample size of the THIN data at the regional level, the results of this study are broadly consistent with those of the previous validation study of these data carried out at the national level.

In both females and males, differences by treatment group seen in the figures were not detected statistically (P ≈ 0.08), perhaps due to diminished sample size, although the negative slope for M+R was significant (females, P = 0.0314; males, P = 0.0419), indicating that HDL decreased as HbA1c increased in this treatment group.

With this diminished sample size, the power to detect small differences in recombination rate is naturally decreased; (power = 0.8, significance level 0.05; N= 200, d = 0.28; N = 152, d = 0.32), although the results are consistent with the increased sample size results from the euchromatic region.

A final limitation of this study is that the significantly diminished sample sizes of the GLF at the regional level mean that there may be significant error in its estimates.

The multiple subgroup analyses suggested by Dr Currie seem ill-advised for a randomised trial, in that (1) the diminished sample sizes of the subsets, with consequently much wider confidence intervals for statistical testing, weaken the conclusions that can be drawn; and (2) multiple post hoc analyses increase the chance of 'uncovering' findings that are statistically significant but spurious.

Another significant study shortcoming was the very high degree of attrition that diminished the sample size at follow-up.

An alternative approach would have been to divide our cohort into subjects with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance, or type 2 diabetes; however, this would have further diminished our sample size.

Notably, this effect does not diminish as sample size increases.
