Also the confidence intervals widened considerably.
When we further stratified participants into light and heavy smokers, the direction of the point estimates for the BMI categories remained the same, although the confidence intervals widened.
We also adjusted the treatment difference for age and gender but the point estimates did not change considerably - only the confidence intervals widened.
The coefficients of the population mixing variable were somewhat smoothed by the introduction in the model of extra-Poisson variation (2) and the confidence intervals widened slightly (Table 4).
However, in all cases the credible intervals widen, so that they still include the value of one, providing little evidence of any association between exposures and the outcome, regardless of the assumed measurement error magnitudes.
These values would be roughly equivalent to the fibre in four to six portions of vegetables, 9 but again, data became sparse at higher intakes and confidence intervals widened (web figs 8B and 8D).
The Bayesian model suggested regression line differs <2 mg/dl from a simple linear regression line in the A1C range of 4 10%, which includes 98.5% of our samples; the prediction intervals widen (P < 0.05) as A1C values increase to 12%, but the difference between the Bayesian and simple linear regression is still <5 mg/dl.
The impact of adjusting the estimated correlation from the study by Savage et al. [ 17] for first internal and then external biases is illustrated in Figure 3. Neither adjustment for internal nor external biases affected the direction of the result considerably, although the 95% confidence intervals widened markedly, reflecting the assessors' uncertainty about the impact of the biases.
On the PA radiograph, scapholunate interval widening (scapholunate diastasis) may be demonstrated and/or foreshortening of the scaphoid can be seen, causing the "signet ring" sign (produced by the scaphoid tubercle being superimposed on the waist).
As it can be seen the average error of counting measurements decreases as the collection interval widens, reducing its value from 10.9% (real time application) to 3.5% (statistical analysis).
