Contingency samples

It is assumed for the remainder of this entry that the same number of units is tested from each of the sampled locations (i.e., it is a balanced sampling plan). Regardless of what sampling plan is used to determine testing, multiple units are normally collected at each of the sample locations during validation to serve as contingency samples for possible later testing. 

Tables are available which provide individual exact probabilities for small sample size contingency tables. See Zar, 1974, pp. 518-542. 

Observation of ESR from a particular sample is contingent upon the presence of a macroscopic spin magnetic moment jZ i.e., die sample under investigation must contain some minimum number of unpaired electron spins. Upon insertion into the cavity, the sample is subjected to the dc magnetic field H, and the unpaired electrons align themselves both parallel... 

Contingent upon a number of parameters that are all extensively described by Boschetti and Righetti (6), the method of sample processing allows an increase of the number of proteins that can range from 50% to more than five times the number of proteins found in the nontreated sample. Variations are also possible with the use of different loading conditions and elutions as well as analytical methods. 

Show how to determine necessary sample size for an experiment that is to be analysed by a contingency chi-square test... 

The column percentages have been included and visual inspection of these suggests that the rate of attendance is higher where additional reminders have been used, but a formal statistical test is required to see whether the differences within these small samples would continue to be seen in the longer term. The result of a contingency chi-square test will be a P value of 0.006 (highly significant). 

For those commendably simple experiments that result in 2 x 2 contingency tables, some statistical packages include simple routines to calculate necessary sample size. For anything more complex, you are on your own - quite right too The routine will require you to provide values for the following ... 

Many statistical packages provide a routine that will generate a 95 per cent Cl for the extent of any change in a proportion within a 2 x 2 table and this can be used to check for practical significance. For experiments that can be described in a 2 x 2 contingency table, it is simple to calculate necessary sample sizes. 

Application for a Quality Certificate to the Institute for Standardization and Control of Pharmaceuticals (See a translation of the application form in Appendix 3). With this application, samples of the finished product and of the active substance(s) and their respective certificates of analyses must be submitted. The final approval of the application for registration is contingent upon the availability of the Quality Certificate. Separate applications have to be submitted for each dosage strength. 

In short, philosophers and scientists cannot and should not rely uncritically on shape or spatial properties as "starting points" for explanation. Nor can they rely uncritically on the claim that microstructure is an essential property of substances. This flows from the naturalistic metaphysical stance I have adopted here. Again, on the account given, a particular shape does not "belong" essentially to matter as a "basic" physical feature. Whether a particular "structure" can be imputed to a sample is a contingent matter. That seems enough to conclude it is false that molecular shape is essential. Some other property (such as mere extension) might be essential—that is, invariant and explanatory in all contexts. But shape is not.
