  1. 3A are the results obtained when observers were free to choose which E-waves to analyse from each set. 3B are the results obtained when comparing only those E-waves which both observers had analyzed. For c2-4 k, the coefficient of variation (CV) and percentage difference are given as positives for ease of comparison, although they are negative values mathematically.
