However, the present study is underpowered to measure plausible effect sizes.
The construction of these measures, employing plausible value (PV) methodology, is quite different from that of the more familiar test scores associated with assessments such as the SAT or ACT.
Similar to Michel and colleagues [ 22] we did not see an effect on asthma as an outcome (results not shown); however, the observed effect on asthma-related objective measures avoids plausible bias of reported asthma.
An association between the duration of the interaction and the outcome and/or the joint attention measures was plausible because the protocol allowed/obliged the sessions to be terminated early if the child became bored or distressed.
This modelling study addresses this knowledge gap using an established individual-based simulation model of a developed country [ 15, 36- 42] by simulating both pre-emptive and reactive vaccination strategies, combined with a range of social distancing and antiviral measures, for plausible future pandemics with different pandemic transmissibility and severity characteristics.
Attribution in cases like these is a notoriously tricky business, especially when governments route their attacks through proxy servers like his or, in many cases, outsource espionage activities to criminal groups to maintain a measure of plausible deniability.
Each has a measure of plausible deniability, and proving that anyone acted with the requisite intent is difficult if no individual is willing to admit to a violation and cooperate in the case.
Although BI's director, Douglas Axe, had been a CRSC fellow at the DI from 1997 to 1999, his name was removed from the roster in 2000 in what was clearly an effort to give him a measure of plausible deniability while he conducted legitimate research in England (Forrest and Gross 2007b).
Laundering lawsuits in this manner not only brings a measure of "plausible deniability," but also insulates the sponsoring business from retaliation, or reputational damage (since a patent troll's reputation is already at rock-bottom).
To place the available sample size in context, we estimated the sample size required to measure a plausible degree of inter-rater reliability with acceptable precision.
