The test reliability, determined using a split-half correlation with Spearman-Brown correction, was 0.81.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00801.012 Here we did not find larger split-half correlations for the patterns associated with trained compared to untrained sequences.
STAI demonstrated good internal consistency in the present study with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 and split-half correlations of 0.81 for antenatal assessment.
Another challenge is that the identification of binding proteins is semi-quantitative and does not generally provide a tight correlation with half-maximal inhibitory values.
We show that whereas the 3' UTR length exhibits a negative correlation with mRNA half life, the 5' UTR length is inversely proportional to protein half life and abundance (Table 4).
In the experiments where the antioxidant capacities of the proteins are compared and for correlation with the half life, 10 µg/ml of protein were used for each assay (Carbonic anhydrase, albumin and insulin).
Despite of low or negative Noxa expression detected in around half of HMCL, no direct correlation with Bik expression was observed.
Surprisingly, all 3-5-nt-long motifs correlated negatively with secretion and had a strong negative correlation with RNA half-lives in both fibroblasts and B-cells.
The correlation with isotopic half-life is very stable with time indicating no strong influence of burnup on release.
For blood-group O patients, a strong correlation with FVIII half-life was observed for VWF/propeptide ratio only (Pearson-rank = 0.70; p = 0.001), which was considerably stronger than the correlation found for VWF-antigen.
For blood-group non-O, a strong correlation with FVIII half-life was observed for VWF propeptide (Pearson-rank = 0.76; p = 0.001), which appeared to be slightly better compared to VWF-antigen.
