Well, the return would actually have been a modest 9.1percentt but for Mrs. Sinnock's mistaken data entries.
aSettlements with incomplete data and settlements with data that were not consistent (e.g. herds declared to have less than 20 small ruminants) due to incorrect declarations of herders or mistakes in data entry were not used in this sample.
To avoid mistakes in data entry, these variables were entered on the observation sheet only after the end of each closure, given that the times remained recorded on the chronometer screen.
The trial databases are constructed with stringent checking criteria to prevent mistakes in data entry.
It is a topic only discussed in relation to the economy: if we have made mistakes concerning data entry, resulting in a lower bonus.
Further, patient mistakes during data entry are possible, i.e. using letters instead of numbers, not separating the numbers with a period, or sending responses outside the range; all mistakes that are interpreted by the server as a non-response.
Errors in coding and classification in case identification, such as mistakes in data entry [ 20] and misinterpretation of the information in the original documents [ 21], are typically observed as human errors.
Subsequently, the questionnaires were proofread in order to check for any scanning mistakes, incorrect data entry, and to identify any unreadable handwriting that the scanning machine had difficulty scanning.
In addition, it is essential to make allowance for mistakes in data entry particularly when using deterministic methods of linkage in which records are linked only if they match exactly [ 22].
The effort required to organize community annotation data is significantly reduced using the Apollo-Chado approach because 1) errors arising from mistakes in data entry on web forms are eliminated, 2) annotations produced by community members are formatted in a way that allows direct loading into the Chado database.
In addition, we adopted relatively loose criteria, accepting that a patient presented a given condition even when there was only one recording of a diagnosis or associated prescription, so some errors due to mistakes in data entry by physicians could be overlooked.
