Orbital cerebrospinal fluid pressure and glaucomatous optic neuropathy: Facts and or Myths?

Drawing conclusions:

Evaluating data means making deductions about system performance and making inferences about potential capabili ty. These inferences are generally associated with specific confidence levels that provide a measure of how closely the data matches reality, and how far beyond the actual test data you are inferring performance. Evaluation should also address each test objective, measure of performance, and measures of effectiveness, as well as issues related to the T&E processes that were used to obtain the data.

Making recommendations:

Evaluating data also means making recommendations on relevant issues, significant findings, and any thing else that might affect decisions and associated consequences. The evaluation should also take into account the user, by making recommendations regarding the impact on operations and maintenance. I f appropriate, the evaluation should also recommend any additional testing that may be necessary.
