Reference values for isometric muscle force among workers for the Netherlands: a comparison of reference values
BACKGROUND Muscle force is important for daily life and sports and can be measured with a handheld dynamometer. Reference values are employed to quantify a subject's muscle force. It is not unambiguous whether reference values can be generalized to other populations. Objectives in this study were; first to confirm the reliability of the utilization of hand-held dynamometers for isometric streng...
متن کاملPooling Peripheral Information: Averages Versus Extreme Values*
Suppose, as an idealization, that sensory intensity is coded in peripheral channels as identical Poisson pulse trains with intensity parameter a power function of signal intensity. Discrimination models based on either an average count computed over a fixed time or an average time computed for a fixed count per channel have difEculty in fitting the Weber function (AI/I versus I) if the free par...
متن کاملA comparison of reference method values for sodium, potassium and chloride with method-dependent assigned values.
The concentrations of sodium, potassium, and chloride in various control sera were determined by reference methods. The reference method values were compared with the corresponding method-dependent assigned values. Sodium: Measurements by flame photometry and ion selective electrodes differed on the whole by less than 1% from the reference method value; determinations by photometry differed, ho...
متن کاملA Discussion of Approaches for Determining a Reference Value in the Analysis of Key-comparison Data
When analysing a sample statistically, the quality of the resulting parameters (measures of location, dispersion, etc.) depends on the reliability or credibility of the data and on the analysis undertaken. The data provided by interlaboratory comparisons, and especially key comparisons, is of sufficient importance that approaches are required which are as defensible and robust as possible. Cent...
متن کاملAnalysis of key comparison data: assessment of current methods for determining a reference value
The degree of equivalence of national measurement standards is established by means of key comparisons. The analysis of data from a key comparison requires the determination of a reference value, which is then used to express the degree of equivalence of the national measurement standards. Several methods for determining a reference value are available and these methods can lead to different re...
