Summary: The defined secondary structure of proteins method is often considered the gold standard for assignment of secondary structure from three-dimensional coordinates.
In the absence of a universally acknowledged gold standard for assignment, it becomes very difficult (if not impossible) to objectively validate one method to be truly better than the other.
To date, there is no golden standard for the assignment of the disordered regions.
Intrauterine birth size data, although imperfect, is currently the normative standard for the assignment of size for gestational age [ 4, 22].
Although there is no true gold standard for subgroup assignment as discussed above, we conclude that our nanoString assay is highly reliable for determination of subgroup affiliation.
We show that even at modest levels of enrichment, which represents an increased frequency of B cells specific to a certain exposure, and using just 10 reference sets as the "gold standard" for exposure, assignment of unknown sets as either exposed or unexposed was possible with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.
There are limited evidence-based standards for determining workload assignments of the neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
A 1% higher average A1C was associated with HRs of 1.20 (P = 0.0002) unadjusted, 1.22 (P = 0.0001) after adjustment for baseline, site-related, and some postrandomization factors, and 1.45 (P < 0.0001) after full adjustment including adjustment for assignment to the standard or intensive treatment strategy.
For assignment of C multiplicities standard C and DEPT spectra were recorded.
While corresponding peaks at ~1100 cm−1 and between ~1400 and 1750 cm−1 in the sample suggest bone black, a smaller peak at ~2150 cm−1 is shifted too far from the standard for a positive assignment in this sample.
