We answered this question in two ways, both of which consider the case of equal group sizes.
We calculated Cohen's d on the basis of the reported t value or the square root of the F value under the assumption of equal group sizes.
The null hypothesis of equal group mean changes in BMD was rejected with p = 0.007 (1-sided ANCOVA after multiple imputation).
While most of the methods achieved good results in the 'easy' cases of equal group size and consistent splicing events, accuracy dropped quickly when sample sizes in groups diverged, less samples per condition were spliced, or expression intensity decreased.
Whilst successful outcomes were obtained in the Naïve Bayes analyses reported above, the underlying assumption of equal group variances is potentially open to challenge given the higher variance of the horse data relative to beef.
Randomisation will be blocked to increase the likelihood of equal group sizes, using a standard permutated block algorithm in which block sizes will be randomly chosen from 2, 4 and 6 to protect concealment.
Following the categorization of the sampled households into 5 quintiles (q i ) as shown in equation (2) where n(5) is the specification of equal groups desired, from the lowest to the highest.
Given the difference in confidence in posting on these topics, on a shared forum, having more MHSUs may provide a perception of equal groups.
Rats were randomly assigned to three groups of equal size: control group, diabetic group, and cholecalciferol-treated diabetic group.
The results of the tests for equal-group means are also included.
