And as the proportion of precision-guided munitions increased, the actual number of bombs dropped decreased, resulting in fewer unintended casualties and less damage to civilian buildings.
For both named entities and events, the proportion of TPs (precision) is notably lower in MeSH-irrelevant citations.
According to our predetermined criteria, accuracy was acceptable in a large proportion of patients, precision was always clinically acceptable, and responsiveness was faster than thermodilution.
Using a 5% two-sided significance level, with a power of 80%, 450 patients were needed to allow estimation of this proportion with a precision of 4.5%.
Using a 0.05 two-sided significance level, with a power of 80%, 450 patients were needed to allow estimation of this proportion with a precision of 4.5%.
Based on the reported SA nasal carriage of 27 to 37.2% in the general population but with previous rate reported around 35% in the literature (15, 29), we determined that the required population size for an expected SA carriage proportion of 35%, a precision of 8%, and a type 1 risk of 5% was 150 subjects, calculated using Nquery Advisor 7.0 (Statistical Solutions, Saugus, MA, USA).
Sample size was calculated using single population proportion formula with an assumption of 95% confidence level, 5% degree of precision, proportion of dental careis, 47.1% and design effect of two.
Given available estimates of the prevalence of IPV, a sample size of 1800 would give an estimated proportion with a precision of 5% at a confidence level of 95%.
Considering an anticipated rate of responder of 50%, using an estimate for this proportion with a precision of 5%, the required sample size was determined to be 385 subjects (assuming a two-sided 95% CI).
Peacock et al. developed a distributional approach to the dichotomisation of normally distributed outcomes allowing the presentation of a comparison of proportions with a measure of precision which reflects the comparison of means.
Accordingly, a corrected total of 127 patients were needed to estimate this revised proportion with a precision of ±8.0% based on a two-sided 95% CI.
