Sentence examples for sensitivity biased from inspiring English sources

This anomaly may have been due to insufficient sensitivity, biased sampling, loss of antigen expression with storage, or tumor evolution between the time the biopsy was obtained and when the therapy was applied [9], [10], but these issues affect any real world attempt to test a predictive biomarker hypothesis.

Experiment 1 showed higher contrast sensitivity in the lower visual field when visual sensitivity was biased toward the parvocellular pathway; no visual field anisotropy was found when sensitivity was biased toward the magnocellular pathway.

There was no effect of hand position on accuracy, sensitivity, bias, or response time.

The method was validated according the appropriate regulations through the estimate of figures of merit, such as trueness, precision, linearity, analytical sensitivity, bias and residual prediction deviation (RPD).

We adopt a quasi-experimental approach and use an interview technique designed to reduce sensitivity biases to compare levels of consumption amongst mine employees and people living within the mine's intervention area with those of statistically matched control groups, and to relate differences to respondents' knowledge of relevant wildlife laws.

These studies demonstrated analytical validity of the gene assays comprising the Onco type DX Prostate Cancer Assay with respect to analytical sensitivity, bias, amplification efficiency, precision and reproducibility, and also validated the precision and reproducibility of the resulting GPS.

The main difficulties in the design and conduct of a non-inferiority trial are the demonstration of assay sensitivity, bias from lack of masking and difficulty in establishing the non-inferiority margin.

We further investigated if the orbital trap distribution contained a sensitivity bias toward lower or higher m/ z values by inspecting the residuals of the combined m/ z distributions.

All pre-specified analytical criteria (i.e. amplification efficiency, analytical sensitivity, bias, reproducibility and precision) were met, and the analytical assay has been demonstrated to be reliable for clinical use even for patients from whom only limiting amounts of biopsy material are available.

The difference between the two categories appears to be due to methylation sensitivity, which biases enzymes away from cutting the genome in repetitive, heterochromatic regions.

This measure of sensitivity is intrinsically biased, as the eggNOG orthologous groups are based on sequence comparison.
