We have explored the independence of these methods and calculated the combined LR of each two methods, but the criterion of independence between two methods is hard to be fixed (data not shown).
The question of the independence of the methods of the human sciences, prominently including history, from the physical sciences became the theme of heated debate over the nineteenth century.
Wilhelm Dilthey (1988/1883) defended the independence of the methods of the human sciences, while Wilhelm Windelband (1980/1894) argued that only the natural, physical sciences are "nomothetic," or law-governed, and thus genuinely scientific (see Beiser 2012 and Patton (forthcoming) for more detail on this debate and its history).
Hence these data should be heard as being consistent with, but not necessarily as demanding, the independence of the methods factors from the corresponding true NK activity factors.
However, the independence of our methods of predicting PPI is hard to affirm and we are unable to prove that the features used in our study to be independent.
The validation was done jointly using two PET tracers to confirm the independence of the method to the radiopharmaceutical administered.
We will also show that the independence of the method from the effect of the covariance between devices (between-subject variability) constitutes an advantage of unscaled over scaled indices such as the CCC.
The Wilcoxon signed rank test is used to compare the different methods; moreover, the independence of the different methods is studied using the Q-statistic.
In this example we point out the independence of the TI method from the effect of the between-subject variation, as compared with other scaled methods such as the CCC, whose covariate adjustment that explains between-subject variation modifies the resulting agreement value.
On the contrary, MGD is more precise in disequilibrium situations and its performance does not change significantly after the randomisation, demonstrating the independence of the novel method from the existence or not of HWE and LE.
