Treatment of RI individuals as unique yields inflated LOD scores [14] in a manner similar to AIL mapping experiments, while application of GRAIP reconstitutes mapping results in a manner similar to mapping using strain means.
Because of the potential for strong multicollinearity among the 24 monthly climatic anomaly variables, standard regression techniques are likely to yield inflated parameter variances and unstable parameter estimates.
The bootstrap procedure appears tolerably unbiased, although our bootstrap standard error estimator yields apparently inflated estimates for some DMRs and a handful of non-DMR CpGs having non-null effect.
Early episodes of thermal desorption would inflate early hydrocarbon yields thus contributing to an artificial decline in yields over the first hours of reaction.
Environmental concerns, stricter legislation and inflated energy costs, together yield energy efficiency as an important pillar for virtually every industrial sector.
Whether used for GWA, reference, or other purposes, the ethnic ancestry of genotyped subjects is often pivotal since GWA scans can yield statistically inflated or false-positive results if cases and controls are ethnically mismatched or admixed (10); and conclusions from reference samples can be undermined by unknown ethnic differences or enhanced by accurate ethnic characterization (11).
Due to low specificity, attempts to estimate the prevalence of depression or screen children on the basis of SMFQ and one- and two-item screen scores set at "optimal" cut points (as determined in this study by convergence of highest sensitivity and specificity) would yield markedly inflated results or many false positives.
If a company's credit troubles are inflated, investors receive a higher yield on their bonds without assuming any real additional risk.
In our example, choosing not to adjust for comorbidity would yield a RR inflated 14% by uncontrolled confounding, compared with the RR adjusted for the full index.
Not excluding patients who already have a diagnosis would, in turn, lead to determinations of screening accuracy and new case yield that are inflated compared with what would be achieved if the instrument were used to screen patients in clinical practice.
