The probability of concentrations of EC, SAR, Na+ and Cl− exceeding a threshold limit in groundwater was obtained using indicator kriging (IK).
To correct older pH measurements obtained using unpurified indicator: Use the archived unpurified indicator and purified indicator to make paired pH measurements in seawater over a range of pH values (e.g., 7.2 8.2).
Furthermore, regarding the pooled estimates, the combination of results obtained using different exposure indicators increases heterogeneity and the risk of bias in the meta-analytic estimates, in particular when thresholds or exposure-response curves are combined.
We explored the use of variant frequency as a quantitative predictor, but found that the best performance was obtained using a binary indicator of whether the variant has been recorded in a control database.
Nonetheless, the conclusions of analyses performed in this work (see Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5), obtained using the π indicator, do not change subtantially if we use the dN/dS ratio instead (data not shown).
We previously validated the accuracy of EVLW measurements obtained using the single-indicator technique in the postmortem lung samples and defined the statistically normal EVLW values in a human autopsy study [ 25].
Indicators obtained using the full dataset are referred to as "unsampled" values.
Indicators obtained using the full dataset were also compared to those obtained with the sampling methods according to cohort size taking the median value (870 patients) as a threshold, type of setting (rural/urban) and the proportion of patients LFU in the cohort (<10% versus ≥10%).
I am satisfied with the adequate number of new-onset MetS events, and the clear evidence of a sex difference obtained using two types of indicators in the ROC curve analysis.
Three numerical examples are presented to show that the results obtained using this new error indicator with an-h-adaptive strategy are satisfactory and very promising.
