Sentence examples for robust confirmatory from inspiring English sources

This study provides the strongest evidence available to date that radiation may increase the rates of stroke and heart disease at moderate dose levels (mainly 0.5-2 Gy), but robust confirmatory evidence from other studies is needed.

We analyzed a large multilocus Staphylococcus dataset in multiple ways to thoroughly explore the phylogenetic signal in the data, and provide robust confirmatory evidence for the relationships among species.

The study provides the strongest evidence so far that radiation dose may increase the prevalence of stroke and heart disease at moderate dose levels (mainly 0.5 2 Gy), although robust confirmatory evidence from other studies is needed.

Single gene analysis for systematic purposes is sometimes a necessary starting point, but will become more robust with confirmatory evidence from additional genes.

While the explanatory strength of the factor solution (explaining 83.5% of the pooled variance) using our small sample provides some assurances that the dimensionality of the S-PRT is robust, further confirmatory construct validation is required, preferably using larger samples of patients within particular patient populations of interest.

Satorra and Bentler [ 26] have developed robust statistics, for confirmatory factor analysis, that can take into account departures from non-normality.

Robust maximum likelihood Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed to test the fit to the model assessed by the computation of the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA: <0.05, good fit; 0.05 0.08, fair or reasonable; >0.08 unsatisfactory fit), the comparative fit index (CFI), the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) and the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) [ 34, 40].

A more statistically robust approach is a confirmatory factor model, which showed that the latent factors of mental health and mental illness in a US sample (n = 3,032) correlated at 0.53, indicating that only one quarter of the variance between measures of mental illness and mental health is shared [ 6].

For the condition of reproducibility in confirmatory experiments in robust design, the difference between the estimated value of the optimum condition and the gain is within ± 30% (Ono 2013; Koshimizu and Suzuki 2007).

With these data, an exploratory Promax-rotated Principal Axis Factor Analysis as well as comparative confirmatory factor analyses with robust Maximum Likelihood estimations were computed.

The factor structure of the DSS was tested at each time point using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with robust maximum likelihood estimation in LISREL (version 8.80) following recommended procedures [ 35].
