Naïve analyses that did not account for measurement error indicated statistically significant associations between CIMT and exposure to OC, Si, and S. EC and OC exhibited little spatial correlation, and the corrected inference was unchanged from the naïve analysis.
The measurement error indicates that some variation must be expected when using ROM as an outcome measure.
However, the magnitude of the measurement error indicates that using the OM-6 on individual patients may be problematic as change scores have to be large before they can be relied upon.
When analyzing this study's reliability using the SEM and SDD, high measurement error was indicated.
None of our measurement error analyses indicated that any important bias was induced by the classical-like error.
In fact, this spacing should be 2.6 Å that this value does not fall within the range of our measurement error may indicate a calibration error or material that is stressed, related to the fairly large proportion of amorphous-looking grain boundary material that seems to be present in this image.
Replicate measurements of internal laboratory standards (acetanilide) indicated measurement errors <0.15‰ and <0.20‰ for δ13C and δ15N, respectively.
Replicate assays of standard materials indicated measurement errors of ±0.1 and ±0.2 for carbon and nitrogen, respectively, but these are likely underestimates of true measurement error for complex organics like the ectoparasite tissues and feathers.
Replicate assays of standard materials indicated measurement errors of±0.1, ±0.2, ±0.3, ±1.5 and ±0.1‰ for carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen respectively but these are likely underestimates of true measurement error for complex organics like feathers.
Measurement error (in percent) indicated good reproducibility in large brain regions (mean error: whole brain 4%, grey matter 5%), but not in smaller subcortical regions (putamen 25%, caudate 55%).
