Fifty-five articles were systematically analyzed focusing on time frame and research context, sample characteristics, data collection/analysis procedures, and equivalence issues.
Therefore, we decided that giving priority to the equivalence issues would be inadvisable, whenever comprehensibility and clinical usefulness were at stake.
Three recent BMJ articles highlight the complexities and sensitivities in this area particularly with regard to issues of fairness and equivalence, issues which are also relevant to selection [ 12- 14].
These issues relate to the importance of ensuring that the study is large enough to have sufficient power so that the estimated equivalence effect is estimated with sufficient precision so that possible lack of equivalence can be ruled out (i.e., by the 95 % CI excluding all values indicating measurement non-equivalence).
A planar-jet turbulent Bunsen flame configuration was used in which turbulent preheated methane air mixture at 0.7 equivalence ratio issued through a central jet and was surrounded by a hot laminar coflow of burned products.
John Oliver, on his HBO program Last Week With John Oliver, debunked the usual cable TV false equivalence in this issue dramatically last year.
The round robin design has two advantages: it ensures that raters and targets are identified clearly for respondents, researchers, and users of the measurement outcomes, and it promotes formal engagement with measurement equivalence and related issues of item bias and differential item functioning.
It goes without saying that there isn't a moral equivalence between conservatives who issue death threats against people for calling out racism* and Democratic Party cultists who attack people who tell some of the disappointing truths about the Democratic Party.
Operational equivalence is the main issue.
Here we discuss how the issue of equivalence has been dealt with in the area of clinical medicine, and suggest an analogous approach for evaluating substantial equivalence for transgenic crops.
