Secondly, applicants for introducing a GMO on the market have an interest that a truly equivalent GMO will pass the equivalence test with high probability.
Furthermore, equivalent expression as confirmed by the equivalence test [ 7] for dependent samples was identified for β-actin, transferrin receptor and GAPDH.
We cannot conclude that they are equal; however, we can perform an equivalence test to check if they are equivalent to a certain acceptable threshold.
The equivalence test confirmed that all reference genes were equivalently expressed between tumour and normal colorectal tissues.
The equivalence test was used to determine if reference genes were equivalently expressed between tumour and normal tissues [ 23].
We took equivalence test and the results showed that the designed KESM was as accurate as the calibrated standard MSM.
If an object O1 is used as a key in a hash table H and is then visibly modified with regard to the equivalence test of H, then the consequences are unspecified if O1, or any object O2 equivalent to O1 under the equivalence test (either before or after the modification), is used as a key in further operations on H.
Further, an equivalence test suggested that both groups activated ROIs to a similar extent (t29.8 = 1.702, p = 0.049, raw score lower limit 90% CI = −1.795 and upper limit 90% CI = 1.290).
A bias of 0.07 L/min/m2 and precision of 0.40 L/min/m2 were within acceptable clinical limits, as were equivalence test results.
The performance of the equivalence test in the context of analytical method transfers was investigated by means of a simulation study.
Knee joint torques were plotted and statistically compared between genders using both an unpaired t test (p <.05) and an equivalence test (20% delta).
