FECRT Resistance Threshold Under 95 Percent Flag Checker
Retain observed FECRT point and lower-bound evidence against historical 95/90 screens; not a current species/protocol resistance diagnosis.
Description
Retain observed FECRT point and lower-bound evidence against historical 95/90 screens; not a current species/protocol resistance diagnosis.
A fecal egg-count reduction screen can compare a supplied estimate and confidence bound with historical thresholds. The estimate, uncertainty and actual resistance conclusion remain separate.
When to use this tool
Retain observed FECRT point and lower-bound evidence against historical 95/90 screens; not a current species/protocol resistance diagnosis.
- Prepare the supplied observedReductionPercent, lowerConfidenceBoundPercent, lowerBoundKnown fields for this operation.
- Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter observedReductionPercent, lowerConfidenceBoundPercent, lowerBoundKnown. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
- Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
- Read result.belowHistorical95, result.lowerBoundKnown, result.lowerBoundBelow90, result.resistanceConfirmed. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.
Require observedReductionPercent within -1,000,000 through 100 and lowerConfidenceBoundPercent within that lower limit through the observed reduction. Return whether reduction is strictly below 95; when lowerBoundKnown, test whether the bound is strictly below 90, otherwise return null for that test. Always set resistanceConfirmed false.1
| Input field | Meaning and representation | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| observedReductionPercent | observed reduction percent. | Finite number |
| lowerConfidenceBoundPercent | lower confidence bound percent. | Finite number |
| lowerBoundKnown | Explicit choice for lower bound known; supply a boolean rather than a text label. | true or false |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named outputs below. |
| result.belowHistorical95 | Flag for below historical95 under the exact condition described above. |
| result.lowerBoundKnown | Flag for lower bound known under the exact condition described above. |
| result.lowerBoundBelow90 | Flag for lower bound below90 under the exact condition described above. |
| result.resistanceConfirmed | Always false: the threshold screen does not independently confirm resistance. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The tool does not calculate reduction or a confidence interval and does not implement every current guideline. Even an unknown bound must be numerically valid; historical flags do not confirm resistance or select treatment.
- Every declared top-level field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; ordinary text fields are bounded to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter operation-specific limits where stated.
- Ordinary string lists have at most 128 entries of at most 128 code units each; numeric lists and matrices have separate bounded size checks. Nonfinite results and excessively large serialized outputs are rejected.
- Indexes are zero-based and spans have an exclusive end unless explicitly stated otherwise. A valid false, null or empty-list result is distinct from malformed input.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Combine recorded observations with a validated method, appropriate controls and the complete specimen context. Use original qualified references when reviewing species, stages or product information; a supplied-record match, sample ratio or historical flag is only the stated piece of evidence.
