These data were often influenced by sampling methods, sample preservation status, tumor size, tumor environment status including tumor vessels and inflammation, etc.
Second order jackknife estimate was not influenced by sampling methods i.e., the way individuals were included in the samples (Table 1).
Another goal of the meta-analysis is to examine the influence of study methodology on study findings, particularly because the descriptive epidemiology of HCV may be strongly influenced by sampling methods, and because study design may affect associations between various characteristics and HCV infection.
The ferroelectric behavior of spin-cast ultra-thin P VDF-TrFE) (72-28) film is highly influenced by samP VDF-TrFEation methods including thermal annealing.
Finally, the validity of a social network analysis based on our ego-centric data collection methods may have been influenced by sampling errors and lack of representativeness [ 33].
We used the dose response data on the effects of NP on VTG induction in rainbow trout by Thorpe et al. (2001) to analyze how estimates of no observed effect concentrations (NOECs) can be influenced by sample size, the statistical method employed for carrying out the significance test, and the chosen significance level α.
RMSEA is sensitive to model specification and is minimally influenced by sample size and not overly affected by estimation method (Fan et al. 1999).
Systematic error arises from problems with the study design or the methods used to obtain the study data and is not influenced by sample size.
This scaling was necessary to compare significance values between the two read count methods, as the magnitude of the binomial test statistic is influenced by sample size.
Also, chart review may result in low power to validate case definitions in population sub-groups and for low-incidence events and the generalizability of the findings will be influenced by the method of sample selection.
We have also compared these methylation measurements against those of matched DNA extracted from buffy coats from the same individuals (bled at the same time) to investigate the commonality of methylation profiles as influenced by the method of sample storage.
