In this analysis we focused on factors previously used as proxies for common infection in studies of chronic disease and to allow illustration of the methodology whilst trying to keep levels of multiple testing to a minimum.
All assessments were conducted by three trained testers (see Supplemental Material, Table S4) who were reliability-tested to a minimum 85% agreement every 6 9 months, and who were blinded to the assignment of animals to study groups.
An increase in the level of clustering at all doses of DF3 was confirmed by applying the Hopkins spatial statistic test to a minimum of 10 images per data set.
Even prior to recent studies supporting a minimal testing strategy, emergency physicians were already keeping testing to a minimum in patients with cocaine chest pain, and earlier understanding of that practice pattern may have reduced the amount of resources spent on subsequent studies of non-invasive testing.
Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St . Louisare developing a dipstick test to detect a minimum of 35 milligrams of caffeine in beverages.
According to the ASTM D638-03 standard (International et al. 2004), the test specimen is to be tested at a minimum displacement rate of 0.50 cm/min to extract the material properties such as the yield point, the elastic modulus, and the ultimate tensile strength.
We had a 90% power (alpha = 0.05, two sided test) to detect a minimum overall OR of 1.4 for the MDM2 SNP309 T allele.
To avoid that the naive pen mates started to anticipate themselves, we kept the number of test trials to a minimum by continuing with only one cue (i.e., the Bach cue) for all pens.
Given that these tests were secondary outcome measures, the number of tests was kept to a minimum in order to avoid excessive fatigue or soreness prior to ultrasound testing; the subject was also instructed not to move into ranges of motion that caused increased discomfort in the low back region.
Testing of significance levels, using the Pearson Chi test and Mann–Whitney- U-test, were kept to a minimum due to the exploratory nature of the study, and focused on the pre/post course contrasts.
