Then we calculated symmetrical difference for the gene trees with artificial transfers and normalized the obtained values by the average value of symmetric difference of the original data minus two standard deviations.
Deviation analysis confirmed that left and right talus bone geometries were symmetrical, as the deviation between the two geometric shapes was small (in the range of -0.74 mm to 0.62 mm, as seen in Table II) and is within a clinically acceptable range with respect to causing increased local pressures.
In other words, many parts of the body are supposed to be symmetrical, so any deviation from perfect symmetry indicates that an animal has not been able to grow as intended.
When Simi begins to palpate Mary's joints, she finds her stride, spilling out technical terms as she goes: symmetrical deformity; ulnar deviation at the MCP joint; rheumatoid nodules, widespread over all joints; Z-thumb deformity; fixed flexion deformity on all fingers; swan neck deformity… The list seems endless, and Karan is impressed, needing to prompt Simi only once or twice.
Continuous variables: re-scaled where necessary to ensure a change of a value of 1 can be interpreted in a meaningful way; centred over mean where necessary (eg. for age); presented as mean and standard deviation (symmetrical distributions) or median and 25th/75th percentiles.
When the expected number is high, the Poisson become fairly symmetrical with a standard deviation equal to the square root of the expected number.
Thus, standard deviations are symmetrical for ({text{p}}K_{i}) values but not for (K_{i}) values [84].
The distribution of the ORs from individual studies in relation to their respective standard deviations was symmetrical, and the Egger test result suggested a low probability of small-study bias (p = 0.29).
We grew P. roqueforti strains on cheese medium as pairwise face-to-face confrontations, and we measured the deviations from symmetrical growth (Table S4, tab d; Figure 3C; Supplemental Experimental Procedures).
Descriptive measures of continuous variables are presented as means and standard deviations for symmetrical data, and as medians and ranges for skewed data.
The values of ΔE indicate the degree of deviation from cubic symmetrical structure.
