Limitations of the study include
possible measurement errors because the data was self - reported, although the authors noted that because the study cumulatively measured diet over time, it reduced such errors.
The conclusion is tentative because of
possible measurement errors.
Despite
this possible measurement error, we detected a statistically significant association between soluble fiber and CRP concentrations.
Not exact matches
It is also
possible, the report said, that inspectors changed data to adjust
errors by
measurement equipment.
And in the numerous cases in which exact
measurements are not
possible one must at least measure the degree of probable
error, something that determinists tend to forget.
According to him, the
error lies in assuming that one is dealing with the same set of
possible spin -
measurement results for the particles coming out one side of the apparatus described no matter what orientation one considers for the spin - measuring device (s) on the other side of the apparatus.
Successful baking means eliminating as much potential for
error as
possible, and that means making sure your
measurements are exact.
This approach will make it
possible to reduce
errors in exposure
measurement, and to identify the potential periods of greatest influence of phenols on the growth of children during childhood.
New
measurement points to
possible error in ESA survey that could also affect the agency's new Gaia mission
The
measurements brought back by Delambre and Méchain not only made science into a global enterprise and made
possible our global economy, but also revolutionized our understanding of
error.
Whether you are gullible enough to accept the figures as accurate depends on how much credibility you put in the multitude of observational
measurements taken by different methods over many decades by diverse groups of researchers that form a strong consilience of mutually supporting evidence for the validity of the estimates and the
possible errors.
Hence, it
possible for a large number of
measurements at different locations to result in a meaningful reduction in the level of
error of a quantity, provided that the value of the quantity does not vary much across the sample space.
However, the consistency of the
error for each year indicated by the parallel nature of the annual balance trendlines for the varying point networks suggests even greater accuracy was
possible if the overall glacier balance distribution has been determined at some time using a denser
measurement network (Figure 5).
It is
possible, however, that the definitions of conflict outcomes or
measurement errors could have influenced these results, the study authors noted.
Fortunately, in one - dimensional cases where uncertainty involves
measurement and similar
errors it is often
possible to find a completely noninformative prior, with the result that exact probability matching can be achieved.
In considering
possible sources of
errors in the satellite, radiosonde, and surface - based temperature
measurements, it should be noted at the outset that none of these
measurement systems was specifically designed for long - term climate monitoring (NRC, 1999).
Since this phenomenon first became apparent in the early 1990s, the research community has been seeking to identify and quantify
possible sources of
errors in the surface and upper air temperature
measurements, and it has been trying to understand the physical processes that may have caused surface and upper air temperatures to change relative to one another.
It is entirely
possible that unforced climate modes, persistent forcing, and
measurement errors all contributed to the recorded temperatures in the mid-century record, although anthropogenically forced variation appears to have dominated after 1950.
Thus I have discussed more the issue of what might be
possible based on fragmentary data where individual
measurements are subject to many sources of
error than what is the quality of the present knowledge.
And if you take the difference between yesterday's and today's min on a station by station basis where the measure is done the same way, I think you get the best
possible value, plus any
error in the
measurement can't get any larger because they don't accumulate, it can only get as large as the yesterday's and today's
error added together.
For the Antarctic ice cores they explicitly say that all ice cores are within 5 ppmv of each other, despite all
possible errors in the ice cores drilling, storage and
measurements... Not bad compared to stomata data with their 63 ppmv range (in one core...).
It is also
possible that the low proportion mediated could be due to
measurement error given that the mediators were self - reported and were measured by single items rather than scales.
