Theoretically the RNA quality of brain samples should reflect the influences of clinical, pre-, and post-mortem events, if any.
In general, bootstrap samples are artificially generated data sets, where the distribution of the bootstrap samples should reflect the variability of the data.
In an ideal scenario, samples should reflect the target population in terms of the age and sex ratio, the geographic location, and the distribution of animals between different stages of infection [ 42].
Therefore, the pattern of data that is shown in Figure 2, A and C, generated from the analysis of the hepatic portal vein blood samples should reflect that shown in the general population.
However, the most frequently applied normalization method involves the use of internal control gene/s based on the rational that the mRNA levels of these control genes in the tested samples should reflect the effect of variables on the quantity and quality of the target gene mRNA, and at the same time be minimally effected by the tested variables [ 19, 20].
To fulfill the capital requirement, banks are obliged to hold 8% of their risk-weighted assets in the form of capital.5 The observed high growth rates in banks' balance sheets during the sample period should reflect an increase in risk-weighted assets and, thus, in higher capital requirements.
The purpose of exploratory qualitative research is to gain depth and understanding, and therefore the sample size should reflect this.
However, statistical reasoning and any inferential conclusion one may draw from a sample statistics should reflect uncertainty inherent in the estimation procedure, and appropriate methods that allow proper interpretation of study findings should be used.
With respect to surveillance, a key question was to what degree a sampling strategy should reflect activity of Culicoides on a host.
In a poll, a sample of voters -- selected to be similar in composition to the entire population of voters -- yields a sample proportion that should reflect that for all voters.
