This comparison indicates that the predicted chloride diffusion coefficient level is within a ±25% error margin in the specimens.
In case of reporting as "Invalid," "No Result," or "Error," the specimen was considered as indeterminate.
Snell thought that this might have been an error in transcription, or an error in the species account, as herbarium specimens that he had examined lacked this feature.
The genotyping error rate in the museum specimens was 2.5%.
In four cases, no pathogen was recovered from any of the samples analysed; in the remaining case a pathogen could not be sought due an error in specimen collection.
Note 2 – There is a probable error in the lead author's name which may be T. B. Zhao as for the specimen collector's name.
The other parameters are identified with larger errors and higher coefficients of variation because their identification is affected by the lower normal strain levels in the specimen.
Six patients failed to participate due to: Temporary travel to another area (n = 3), error in specimen preparation (n = 1) or unknown (n = 2).
Despite the impression of stasis, linear discriminant analysis of the aligned data, plus centroid size indicates that taxa are usually diagnosable: When a random half of the data is used to train the discriminant function, the error rate in assigning specimens in the remaining, evaluation data set to species is only 4%, compared to 3% in the training data set itself.
Indeed, where comparable data were available for genes previously used for sequence based-typing, the majority of the discrepancies were due to errors in the editing or labelling of the specimens used in the original Sanger sequences, and the remaining, the result of STR sequence compression during assembly [ 49].
