The coefficient of variation to the power of two (CV), a normalized measure of cross-replicate variability that can be useful for evaluating the quality of RNA-Seq data, was calculated to exhibit the biological variation.
Figure 6 AFM measured depth of replicated nanohole arrays on PC film as a function of molding temperature.
A good measure of the reproducibility of replicate measurements is the Root Mean Square (RMS) deviation of the natural logs of all signals that are well above background levels.
In order to assess the impact of the three growth media on biodiversity quantitatively, we measured the biodiversity of replicate microhabitat experiments by calculating Shannon's diversity index through time.
Measurement trueness is the closeness of agreement between the average of an infinite number of replicate measured quantity values and the true or a reference quantity value.
The Vanguard Developed Markets Index fund combines shares in its Europe and Pacific funds in appropriate measures to replicate the performance of the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East, or EAFE, index.
The calculation for a silhouette score is shown in equation (1):
The slope and correlation coefficient of each standard curve were calculated based on the median threshold cycle (CT) values measured for replicates of each dilution point ranging from 106 to 101 DNA templates.
As we have noted, the MESE approach uses this same logic, but we are working with a case in which a typically larger number of replicate measures (generally "item responses") are available, and those measures take a form that is appropriately handled by an embedded IRT model.
In this study, we describe how the optimal number of replicate measures (technical replicates) for each biological sample (biological replicate) can be determined.
