Their results clearly excluded a point-source outbreak and suggested that the case cluster was related to the particularly high rainfall that occurred that year.
Our results could neither indicate nor exclude a point source or a common link through food or water.
Further investigation of cases in which presentation (though not insertion of the gastric band) was temporally related, showed that the isolates differed enough to exclude a point source.
This analysis can be used to recognize or exclude a point-source outbreak of melioidosis within 8 hours of receipt of B. pseudomallei strains.
"Case Stirs Fight on Jews, Juries and Execution" (front page, March 16), about allegations that prosecutors in Alameda County, Calif., routinely excluded Jews from capital juries, itself excludes a larger point -- that jurors with scruples against the death penalty are systematically ruled out of cases in which it might be imposed.

However, a sample size of 64 experimental participants would have been required to exclude a five point change on PCS or MCS under standard assumptions: two-sided test, alpha = 0.05, 80% power [ 12].
Equivalently, the likelihood is 90% that the 95,0% confidence interval (CI) for the difference in clinical cure rates will exclude a 10,0 point difference in favor of Standard treatment.
To investigate if the correlation is still significant when this subset of data points is excluded a Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was calculated as a sub-analysis of the correlation of outer retinal thickness and retinal function.
We calculated the averages of log2 ratios at each time point, and excluded an additional 6,273 genes with expression levels hardly varying over time (between −0.5 and 0.5).
In all cases, we excluded all points outside the known native range from the model-building (training) data pool.
