While using the inflated control value may reduce the sensitivity for gastroparesis, it will increase the chance to discover other major diseases that might be causing similar clinical symptoms.
As an emotionally sensitive man who has formulated a grossly over-inflated estimate of his own emotional sensitivity, I want to assure you that if you're feeling bad, I can tell.
Study conclusions were unchanged in sensitivity analyses employing zero-inflated models and using more stringent criteria for the serological diagnosis of HSV infection.
We suggest that the results from the extended RVSOM, with inflated variances for any studies considered to be outliers, provides a useful sensitivity analysis.
Our sensitivity analysis found that GEE with robust SEs lead to severely inflated type I error rates with a small number of centres, and slightly inflated error rates even with 50 and 100 centres.
Figure 4 shows the results of the one-way sensitivity analysis used to construct the ranges around the base case estimates for the inflated scenario (Table 3).
Each graph shows that the observed sensitivity and specificity of Test 2 for both the single test and series designs are inflated relative to the true sensitivity and specificity, though there is less inflation for the series design.
We performed sensitivity analyses on key variable inputs to assess model results variability by repeating model runs with inflated and deflated inputs for single variables chosen from the range of likely values as estimated from the literature and clinic databases.
It has been observed previously that, under a fixed FDR, the inflated database generated by, e.g. six-open-reading-frame (6-ORF) translation of a whole genome significantly decreases the sensitivity of peptide identification (Blakeley et al., 2012).
Some arrived with inflated expectations.
