29 Promoting symptom awareness as reported here is not the same as population screening; GPs triage patients deciding who has further investigations, and so, theoretically, false-positive results and their consequences should be fewer, but this needs to be quantified through research.
Yes, fine, sigh, there exist some vanishingly small number of sociopathic or delusional women who might theoretically make false or wrong accusations, possibly for some kind of personal gain.
A simple example using the theoretically estimated false match rate to identify a preferred match strategy is given in the Discussion.
Thus, because the initial input EST and intronic sequences are about 1,440 Mbps in length (340 Mbps for ESTs and 1.1 Gbps for introns), we could theoretically generate 212 false positive candidates from similar size dataset.
Because the sensitivity of sputum microscopy and culture techniques in HIV infected persons with advanced immunodeficiency is low, it is be theoretically possible that false negative gold standard assessments could have led to a misclassification of some LAM-ELISA results and thus caused the low specificity of the assay.
Although there is theoretically a possibility of false negatives, we are confident that their number must be small and should not invalidate the results of our study.
Results: To quantitatively model this problem, we theoretically analyze the subgroup false discovery rates of annotated and novel peptides.
Indeed, increasing the number of incident dementia diagnoses may theoretically lead to more false positive diagnoses, with potential serious adverse effects on mental health and quality of life.
However, by comparing the theoretically estimated numbers of false and true links among matches achieved using linkage criteria of varying degrees of strictness the trade-off between the two can be explored.
Not only is this empirically false, it is theoretically unacceptable.
Mayford, whose work also focuses on learning and memory manipulation in mice, says it's theoretically possible that humans form false memories in a similar way.
