Given ambiguity in allocating covariance, the neighbor correlation appears overly generous in estimating the possible influence of the shared environments, including both measured and unmeasured variables [ 9, 62].
Given ambiguity in Figure 1A and the strain table, it is unclear if these were strains they already genome sequenced (in which case this would be a bioinformatic exercise) or whether genome sequencing is necessary.
Especially for problems of this nature, we find it important to think of uncertainty as broadly conceived to include risk within a given model, ambiguity across models and potential model misspecification.
When identifying haplotypes for a given genotype, the ambiguity occurs for the heterozygous sites since there is no information about which haplotype has the common-type allele and which haplotype has the wild-type allele.
The ambiguities in the fourth peptide fragment (K20) could be explained by poor peptide sequencing data if minor and otherwise undetected impurities in the protein sample exist, or that there are isoforms of the shrimp nuclease giving ambiguities in some positions.
ACCTRAN and DELTRAN differ in the second top-down tree traversal to account for the three neighboring subtrees of a given node and resolve ambiguities: ACCTRAN chooses reversals over parallelisms when the choice is equally parsimonious, while DELTRAN does the opposite and favors parallelisms.
A more scientifically informed approach would focus on how to be mindfully aware of the unique nature of a given situation, how to tolerate ambiguity, and how to critically examine and synthesize diverse perspectives.
Another ambiguity is that a given ncRNA, like any protein-coding RNA, may be the host gene for Drosha and/or Dicer processing to give rise to miRNAs.
So, to overcome possible ambiguities and identify a given lineage, we added to the main letter defining the haplogroup name, the last downstream SNP observed.
The few journalists who have interviewed him say he answers questions with a bluntness refreshing in a society given to ambiguity and generalities.
