The AC1 statistic can take any value from -1 to 1, with 1 indicating full consistency, 0 absence of consistency (the degree of agreement expected by chance), and negative values indicating inconsistency or disagreement.
To avoid false negative results due to inconsistencies in sequenced loci between samples, we report only on those loci completely covered by at least five reads in both samples under comparison.
More precisely, parenting behaviors that involve higher monitoring, lower discipline, inconsistency and negative controlling, and a positive parenting style are associated with good development of inhibition capacities in children.
Some methods of analysis, such as RMA and one variant of the dChip, avoid the negative values without introducing inconsistency in evaluation by using the PM values only.
The overall test for inconsistency became negative after exclusion of five coronary artery bypass grafting trials, which showed increases in the risk of myocardial infarction associated with coronary artery bypass grafting between 34% and 133% (see supplementary figure 5).
For the composite of death or myocardial infarction, 95% credibility intervals of two correlated loops, both involving coronary artery bypass grafting, did not cross the null, but the overall test for inconsistency was negative (P for inconsistency=0.27).
"But we've seen age assessments being used in this way, with negative decisions relying on minor inconsistencies between what the young person had told the local authority during an age assessment and what he told the Home Office".
Examples of these include issues such as poor public perception, professional-identity inconsistencies, philosophical dissonance, negative media coverage, workplace injury levels from unique physical demands, market competition from other manual therapists, student loan default rates in North America and threats to autonomy [ 26, 47, 48].
This model accepts the original theory's proposal that a sufficient cognitive inconsistency causes the negative affective state of dissonance.
We do not know to what extent repeated testing of initially negative results also would show inconsistency and how that could have affected the outcome of our study.
