Is this comparison justified given the author's claim to have used a novel method to identify the changes in connectivity, an analysis that was not used by the other authors?
The results of the comparison justify the transformation mechanism described earlier.
Is that comparison justified?
In addition, these comparisons justify reductions in the "plateau length," Lp, used in the AISC and AASHTO flexural resistance calculations, as well as in the stress limit FL in AISC and Fyr in AASHTO corresponding to the applicability of the theoretical elastic LTB equations.
The following quote illustrates this point, stating that they lived in a metropolitan area where they actually have hospitals, in comparison to being in a 'desert', and they used this comparison to justify and rationalise their 'blind trust'.
This comparison is justified, since we verified our implementation against the implementation provided by the original authors [29] and found the results to be consistent both in terms of the resulting peak signal-to-noise ratios and a visual comparison of the retrieved estimates.
Although those other studies are primary care based and our study is population based, we believe that this comparison is justified.
The 2-sided threshold for statistical significance was set at p = 0.05, with no correction for multiple comparisons justified by the hypothesis-generating exploratory nature of this analysis.
However, there is no a priori reason to assume that these differences would be related to subjective feelings or coping around appearance, and as such, the use of this comparison sample is justified.
The Ct values for the housekeeping gene, porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), were similar between the two cell-lines (p≈0.73), justifying this comparison.
