To quantify PPAR-γ expression, cells in five microscopic fields in each sample were scored as clearly immunopositive or negative for PPAR-γ by two independent examiners, and the ratio of positive cells to total cells in each field was calculated.
For calculation of intra- and inter-examiner reproducibility for ratio interval data, ICC (2,1) and Bland and Altman's with 95% limits of agreement (LOA) were used.
Quality In patents and trademarks, "quality" refers to the expertise of the patent examiners, their number in ratio to the quantity of patents filed and to the ability of these examiners to research "prior art" (previous patents) to determine if an application truly represents something new.
At the end of 2007, the bankruptcy examiner concluded, Lehman's real leverage ratio was 17.8 — meaning it had $17.80 in assets for every dollar of equity.
Mean difference was derived from the general linear model with adjustment for age, sex, ethnicity/race, poverty income ratio, test language, and examiner using SPSS Complex Sampling.
Table 3 shows the results from the general linear model adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, poverty income ratio, test language, and examiner.
The cognitive assessment scores among the different groups were further analyzed with adjustment for sex, race/ethnicity, age, poverty income ratio, language used, and examiner in the cognitive assessment by including these variables in the models.
Other variables of interest included sex, race/ethnicity, age, poverty income ratio, language used, and the examiner who conducted the cognitive assessment.
A model under development by forensic scientist Cedric Neumann and statistician Christopher Saunders at South Dakota State University in Brookings can estimate a likelihood ratio for prints once a trained examiner marks their similarities (see diagram, above).
CHC: Community health centre; CI: Confidence interval; IPV: Interpersonal violence; OR: Odds ratio; SA: South Africa; SANE: Sexual assault nurse examiner; USA: United States of America.
