This discrepancy in trends was greater for the earlier years of this period between 1983 and 1987 'there is no statistically sound evidence that the trends diverge'(Mayhew et al.

The method used is a stratified random sample of organizations and statistically sound survey methodology and weighting; the study does not use "samples of convenience".

"The process was conducted in a statistically sound manner."

Although there have always been individuals who in fact were, or like Socrates were accused of being atheists, only in the late modern period has statistically sound information become available.

Others say 10 percent is more likely, but everyone emphasizes that, without a statistically sound sample of leases, estimates are really just guesses.

A more thorough analysis is needed to provide a statistically sound report, and we are working on one.

But James P. Stuckey, the developer's executive vice president for development, questioned whether the group's questionnaire was statistically sound and said that the intersection "is not that bad when it's functioning."

In order to obtain a statistically sound and reliable result, the amount of data needed to support the result often grows exponentially with the dimensionality.

Dr. Mills, one of the leading advocates of such testing in the nation, kept issuing upbeat news releases, saying his testing program was "statistically sound" and "in accordance with nationally accepted standards."

They determined that they could conduct a statistically sound study if they included 200 of the about 2,000 defibrillator patients in the St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital system.
