Even if the smoking adjustments are not unreliable and do not bias ORs upward, positive results supporting the diesel-lung cancer hypothesis are still inconclusive because they are model dependent; significance depends on which model and lag period are used.
While plaques progressively narrow the arteries in which they form, their clinical significance is dependent more on their composition than the size they attain [2],[3].
0 = no or incorrectly marked value AND no or incorrect explanation (2) "Personal responsibility for your own studies and study success are positively correlated". 1 = correctly marked value BUT no or incorrect explanation (3) "The two sub dimensions "clarity of purpose" and "significance" are dependent factors".
This finding may have been an artifact, as its significance was dependent on two cases for which paternal ethnicity was missing.
In fact, statistical significance is dependent mainly on the underlying null hypothesis, the sample size, the variance of the data and the significance level alpha, which in most cases is taken as the 5%% limit somewhat arbitrarily introduced by Ronald Fisher.
Statistical analysis revealed that miR-1, miR-133a/b and miR-98 expression based on qPCR results is in accordance to microarray results, that are down-regulated in infracted compared to corresponding remote myocardium, but statistical significance is dependent of RG used (Table 5).
Statistical significance of OmegaPlus (dependent on linkage disequilibrium) and SweeD (dependent on SFS) test results was determined using neutral simulations with or without demography.
To assess the significance of Pho85-Pcl1 dephosphorylationrylatiof of Shs1, we generated four phosphorylation site mutants of Shs1 (Figure 6A).
Collectively, these data demonstrate that statistical significance is highly dependent on appropriate reference gene selection, even when changes in reference gene expression are marginal.
Bonferroni adjustments were used to assess statistical significance for single dependent variables (two-sided p-value of 0.025).
Because many polymorphisms showed strong LD and because the significance levels are dependent on the genotype frequencies, it is not possible to attribute causal effects to specific variants.
