Table 2.
The ewe variance, error variance, percentage of total variance due to the ewe (Hewe), for the maximum and average temperatures of all four hooves (right front, left front, right hind, and left hind hooves) as well as the precision achieved with three images
| Variable | Quantity | Right front | Left front | Right hind | Left hind |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum | Ewe variance (SE), °C2 | 19.92 (9.94) | 14.29 (7.13) | 3.71 (1.86) | 15.79 (7.90) |
| Error variance (SE), °C2 | 0.49 (0.04) | 0.40 (0.04) | 0.97 (0.08) | 0.96 (0.08) | |
| H ewe, % | 97.60 | 97.26 | 79.31 | 94.26 | |
| Precision with 3 images, °C | 0.79 | 0.72 | 1.11 | 1.11 | |
| Average | Ewe variance (SE), °C2 | 8.00 (3.99) | 5.24 (2.61) | 2.05 (1.02) | 4.85 (2.43) |
| Error variance (SE), °C2 | 0.13 (0.01) | 0.13 (0.01) | 0.15 (0.01) | 0.24 (0.02) | |
| H ewe, % | 98.36 | 97.62 | 93.21 | 95.20 | |
| Precision with 3 images, °C | 0.41 | 0.41 | 0.44 | 0.55 |
Precision was defined as the largest expected difference (95% of the time) between (the average of) the measured temperature(s) and the gold standard, where the gold standard was the average of 30 measurements.
