To this point, the empirical evidence of this investigation has shown that employment effects are relatively small, and, importantly, that there exists substantial sensitivity of estimates with respect to the choice of time period, polynomial trend specification, and trend filter methods.
Generally, a tradeoff exists between sensitivity and precision.
Our findings demonstrate that different results are obtained with different platforms and illustrate the trade-off that exists between sensitivity and specificity.
The bivariate approach simultaneously models pairs of (logit-transformed) sensitivity and specificity from studies, thereby incorporating any correlation that might exist between sensitivity and specificity.
These latter studies suggest that no inherent species differences exist in sensitivity to disruption to testis determination by altered gene dosage; rather, differing sensitivity to gene dosage in both humans and mice is dependent on genetic background.
Whatever the case, these contrasting findings indicate that differences exist between sensitivity to malaise- and satiety-induced devaluation that render the former ineffective in reducing instrumental lever press behavior in C57BL/6J mice.
That a problem may exist in sensitivity is suggested by the difficulty in demonstrating MN induction by smoking, an exposure capable of inducing chromosome aberrations.
Results from the symptomatic group revealed that both specific and unique cognitive components exist: Anxiety Sensitivity is a specific component involved in both SAD and PD, and Pathological Worry a unique component for GAD.
The threshold effect must be considered firstly in test accuracy studies, which arises when differences exist in sensitivity and specificity due to different cut-off or threshold used in different studies to define a positive or negative test result [ 16, 17].
For example, clear individual differences exist in sensitivity to, perception of, and responsiveness to stress and alcohol, and both clinical and preclinical evidence indicate that genetic factors help shape the nature of the relationship between stress and alcohol drinking (Clarke et al. 2008; Uhart and Wand 2009).
