To me at the time, it just seemed advantageous: our teacher ranked grades according to our sexes, and I came in third over-all and first among the girls in my class (I only reported the latter to my mother).
That is especially striking because many recent economic and social trends — the decline of manufacturing and the rise of health care, the advance of educated women into professions and jobs once mostly occupied by men — were seen as harmful to working-age men and advantageous for the growing ranks of working women.
Such an integrative approach is advantageous over simply using the rank of feature positions, since mapping positions are not always uniformly distributed and the spatial patterns may be of interest in experiments like DMR detection.
Getting more from Okafor at center and allowing Davis room to roam might be the most advantageous scenario though, seeing as The Brow ranks in the 90th percentile in points allowed per possession on jump shots (0.806) and has the length to cover plenty of ground.
Although the KM estimate has the advantage of addressing the case-cohort design and being a more smoothed curve than the rank order, it does not seem advantageous over rank in detecting non-proportionality.
This is not in itself a normalization issue, but it may be advantageous to minimize the differences so that the ranking of potential differentially methylated loci is more accurate [ 5].
Nonetheless, our explicit modeling of count data remains advantageous for segmenting count data, which has the highest weighted average rank (Table 4), followed by bcp and HaarSeg.
For situations with low heritabilities and in situations where the trait is assumed to be polygenic, the genome-wide prediction approaches might be advantageous for the detection of donor effects, even for full-rank design matrices.
Since the stronger one is always in an advantageous position in a future game, each player often cares more about his rank of payoff value among all players than the payoff value itself.
This suggests that moving to ranked data despite losing some information (like fold change), might be advantageous in certain cases, especially when these methods are not based on a priori biological knowledge, making them promising exploratory tools to discover novel, interesting transcriptional patterns in large-scale expression analysis.
In certain cases withholding knowledge led to a higher ranking, suggesting the indirect reasoning pathways these constraints emphasize may be advantageous at times.
