Spectral distortion and GV are commonly used as objective measures since they provide a simple and fully automated way for evaluating conversion systems.
However when we evaluated conversion rates stratified by varying levels of disease severity it became clear that our measures of baseline severity of disease did not explain the lower and delayed culture conversion in liquid media in African patients.
To assess the quality of sodium bisulfite conversion and the subsequent PCR/pyrosequencing assays, using the LINE-1 marker, we evaluated conversion of 40 FFPE DNAs extracted using a routine method.
This is a shorter period of pre-operative treatment than that used in other studies evaluating conversion therapy (Bismuth et al, 1996; Alberts et al, 2005; Masi et al, 2006) in which the duration of chemotherapy was typically 6 months.
We evaluate our programs using high-quality sequence data for a set of gene clusters (including the well-studied β-globin and α-globin clusters) as well as simulation data produced using the method designed in our study evaluating conversion detectors (Song, Hsu, Riemer, and Miller 2011).
Contacts without boosting were submitted to a third TST (test 3) 12 weeks after the first evaluation to evaluate TST conversion [ 6].
I also quantitatively evaluate the conversion from the motions to sentences.
However, in order to evaluate our conversion algorithm (E_mathrm{max} = 0.01~%) was chosen.
The only way a freemium company can evaluate whether conversion is on schedule is by tracking cohort events along the way.
