That was 20 years ago Monday, and if your first thought is, 'Oh, my, how time flies,' consider the alternative likelihood that Johnson has relished every single day since he looked into television cameras broadcasting live around the world and said, "Because of the H.I.V. virus that I have attained, I will have to retire from the Lakers today".
This study aims to provide an alternative likelihood-based estimator that solves the problems in the current likelihood methods.
A multiple alignment excluding the ~35 aa segment of HrgC proteins was also generated with aLRT (alternative likelihood ratio test) values.
Investigation of evolutionary rates between lineages was carried out using alternative likelihood models, one with a single dN/dS ratio (M0, one-ratio) [ 42] estimated for all branches and another that allowed independent dN/dS ratios for each branch (FR, free-ratio) [ 15].
The differences between null and alternative log likelihoods are much larger than would generally be expected in complex disease studies (leading to very small p values for rejecting the null hypothesis of no effects) on account of the large sample size and relatively strong effects (relative risks) assumed.
An alternative joint likelihood technique is introduced, which is designed to treat systematic uncertainties in a uniform and statistically robust manner.
As an alternative, maximum likelihood estimation of the exponential growth rate and historical θ was conducted.
Alternative maximum likelihood approaches make different assumptions about the distribution of the error, but the matrix algebra is the same.
We compared the performance of the MTU-PF to the standard PF and to an alternative Maximum Likelihood estimation method on a small artificial example.
We also calculated an alternative maximum likelihood-based measure of gene loss, the gene loss rate (GLR), introduced by Borenstein et al. (2007).
