A value of 25%, corresponding to a ratio of hazard ratios of 1.25, may be interpreted to indicate low inconsistency, a value of 50% moderate inconsistency, and a value of 100%, corresponding to a ratio of hazard ratios of 2.00, high inconsistency (see web extra appendix 1).
Inconsistency indexes (I) were also calculated, and a value greater than 50% was considered an indicator of high inconsistency between studies [ 10].
This might explain the high inconsistency in the comparisons of these two classifiers reported in the literature, especially if statistical testing was not performed [ 15, 25].
Although an overlap exists between "our" presumed miRNA genes and the ones reported there, there is a high inconsistency as far as total numbers of miRNAs identified in A. gambiae are concerned (see also miRNAs present in VectorBase).
I values of <25%, 50%and>75%5% represent low, moderate and high inconsistency, respectively [ 28].
Higgins et al. [44] suggest that I2 values of 25% indicate low inconsistency, 50% moderate inconsistency, and 75% high inconsistency among the studies.
A value of 25% may be interpreted to indicate low inconsistency, 50% moderate, and 100% high inconsistency.
Growth of the GCSDT is realized by expanding nodes of the tree, characterized by the highest inconsistency index of the information granules.
Finally, we have observed that comparison of values from solid state measurement and carried out for diluted species can introduce high inconsistencies in determination of structure/property relationships.
