The phrase "refinement of the method" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a process of making a method or system more precise or specific. For example, "After several years of research, the team was able to achieve the refinement of the method, allowing the data to be more accurate and precise."
Progressive refinement of the method has made new areas of research possible, and the ability to understand complexities encountered in earlier investigations has increased.
Field trials are envisioned for the near future, which will enable refinement of the method.
The limitation has been corrected by a further refinement of the method.
A refinement of the method, which accounts for overlaps in the excitation pulses, is shown to improve the accuracy of the technique when compared with simulation results.
One possible refinement of the method would be to combine PET/CT with DXA (Ullmark et al. 2011), thus allowing calculations of net bone formation.
All four authors contributed to the refinement of the method, analysis of the findings and to the composition and editing of the manuscript.
Continued refinement of the methods by which we collect and analyze data annually on influenza will improve our ability to have accurate and reliable data during a pandemic.
Therefore, the improvements, generalizations and refinements of the method for proving monotonicity of quotients have attracted the attention of many researchers.
Recent technical advances could allow further refinements of the method: specificity screening on protein microarrays should permit to increase the number of pooled antigens (possibly 50 or more) used for the immunizations.
In fact, there are 22.9% (11 out of 48) false-negative and 15.1% (14 out of 93) false-positive rates of identifying early relapses in postoperative stages II III colon cancer patients using our multi-marker membrane-array method, suggesting that there is room for the refinement of this method.
Since the introduction of the standardized hospital mortality rates and subsequent refinements of the methods for its calculation [ 26, 27], adjusted hospital mortality ratios have been considered by many as an inclusive flag of hospital quality that should require further investigation.
