For vitamin B-12, CVs were similar for PTM and FFS (12%and13%3%, respectively), and the individual method biases correlated only modestly (r = 0.55, P = 0.05; data not shown).
WINE LIST: About 130 modestly priced bottles with a bias toward country wines from the Mediterranean.
This implies that the total residual confounding (including residual confounding from unmeasured factors) likely biases, but only very modestly, towards observing a larger effect size for statins than is genuinely present.
General concerns include a lack of attention to sampling and study design, inconsistent criteria for clinical assessment, population stratification, the use of genetic markers that are only modestly correlated with disease, and publication bias.
In all, a positive test result increases modestly or even markedly the probability of reporting bias being present, while a negative test result is not very informative.
However, the ORs are only modestly different from one, 0.75 at the most extreme, so that biases are a more plausible explanation than they would be with more extreme ratios.
But no, in the sense that Romney could have avoided almost all of his current difficulties, media bias or no, through the simple expedient of running a modestly more competent and creative campaign.
Although individuals in this population gave modestly reproducible responses when self-reporting their past beverage intakes, we cannot rule out reporting bias which may explain, in part, the differing associations or lack of association with specific beverages.
Results show that matric potential-dependent bias was reduced significantly while root mean square error (RMSE) for water content were reduced modestly; RMSE for Ks was increased by 0.9% (H3w) to 3.3% (H5w) in the new models on log scale of Ks compared with the Rosetta1 model.
