Currently there is a small number of useable materials, accuracy is questionable and the size of parts is also limited.
In the case of aluminum, which is the best studied material, the accuracy is within about 0.5 percent.
Throughout the panel, it was apparent that the series is a love letter to documentaries, to the point where the team even consulted the creators of the inspiration material for accuracy with shots and lenses.
However, compared to retaining the material density accuracy, we feel that this slightly increased noise is acceptable.
Material density accuracy and noise reduction are quantitatively evaluated by the percent density error and the percent noise reduction.
Note that, in the Additional file 1: Supplementary Material, the accuracy of this estimate is systematically investigated in the case of DNA crowding.
In cases such as these, with minute amounts of material loss, accuracy can be improved by adjusting to account for the form of the component.
Whilst there are methods to apply such an RNA-based analysis to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material, classification accuracy is inferior to that obtained with frozen tissue, particularly when analysing older samples [ 9].
We define the material density accuracy and the amount of noise reduction by a percent density error, (11) % density error = D ensity original − Density noise reduced Density original, and a percent noise reduction, (12) % noise reduction = δ original − δ noise reduced δ original, where δ symbolizes the standard deviation.
Publisher blurbs are often written by a marketing department and so although seldom inaccurate, they may bear little or no resemblance to the material, veracity, accuracy or approach the book takes to the material.
