The total stocks increased towards the forest edge by 30% for N and 43% for C, averaged over all forests, within a confidence interval of 95% (which was in some cases rather wide).
Table 1 shows the results of 10-fold validation for 9 anatomical components in terms of specificity and sensitivity as averaged over the 10-folds with a confidence interval of 95% around the average (in brackets).
The parameters were varied over their 95%% confidence intervals or decreased and increased by 20%% if a confidence interval was not available (see Tables 1, 2 and Table S3 in the ESM).
The data for this run (Run 1) were fitted through a third order polynomial linear regression model and statistically analyzed over a 95% confidence interval (see Figure 7).
Group 2 was a set of three transcripts selected randomly from those transcripts showing at least a 95% confidence interval over two-fold values (an unknown [GenBank: EU209612], a structural constituent of ribosome [GenBank: EU204988], and a DNA binding gene [Genbank: EU205805]).
Figure 10 shows the results, also including the average SNR value over time within a 95%% confidence interval.
At 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post challenge there were 121, 194, 163, 102, 111, 37, and 33 detectable transcripts, respectively, with significantly different transcriptional behavior (increased or decreased transcript abundance at a 95% confidence interval over two-fold values) as a result of parasite challenge (Figs 1 and 2).
We calculated the average difference between groups over all times (with a 95% confidence interval) and the maximum difference over hours one to six.
Genes showing differential expression over controls were isolated using volcano plots [ 69] at a 95% confidence interval over 2-fold values.
These over-reduced confidence intervals underline the necessity to validate the marker-trait association, either by association mapping or by transcriptomics when possible as performed by Norton et al. (2008) [ 14].
