When investigating different patients, in different settings, different units, and using different devices, this overall precision is representative of the reproducibility and not indicative of the intrinsic precision of the studied technology (repeatability), which requires investigating the same or similar objects under specified conditions.
The whole aqueduct descends in height by only 17 m over its entire length, while the bridge descends by a mere 2.5 cm – a gradient of only 1 in 3,000 – which is indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using only simple technology.
As is described in the Methods section, expression analysis of nine reference genes revealed that within the five biological replicates taken for each time point used in the microarray analysis, the average variance was found to be about ±20% (intra-sample group variance), which is in part indicative of the analytical precision that can be achieved with LRE qPCR [ 17].
When the mean and SD of all PG ARD pairs associated with a particular PG value were computed for each PG value between 70 and 320 mg/dL (Fig. 4 A – C ), the average SD at each PG value was much smaller for the Navigator (8.8 ± 3.9) than for the Seven Plus (13.9 ± 8.7) and the Guardian (15.1 ± 7.4), indicative of higher precision of the Navigator relative to the other two devices.
This can be considered as indicative of low precision in the trials with negative finding.
The biosensor was indicative of good precision, stability, sensitivity, and selectivity.
Percentage coefficients of variance (%CV) were not used to represent precision estimates as a low mean Ct value in this experiment is indicative of good precision and therefore percentage CV would generate misleading results.
As "adequate precision value" was indicative of the signal-to-noise ratio index, a value greater than 4 indicated the proper prerequisites for a good fitting model.
As coefficient of variation is indicative of degree of precision of all the compared treatments, therefore low CV (1.77%) approved the reliability of the model of the present study.
