Treating polymorphisms as character states in the NJ analysis was the most effective method for recovering heteroplasmic species, but this analysis is most appropriate with a priori defined species, since it will inflate intraspecific branch lengths when polymorphisms are not shared by all individuals of a given species.
Brock and Durlauf [49] further suggest Bayesian analysis as a method to quantify model uncertainty, but argue that a robustness analysis is most appropriate for models which are characterized by rather similar purposes.
Differences between the two techniques were not evaluated by statistical analysis, as the nature of the data and the numbers of animals involved meant that descriptive analysis was most appropriate.
By FE analysis, the most appropriate plate modulus for each initial load condition and oblique angle was suggested.
Given the nature of this research, which is a more "system-wide" analysis, the most appropriate criteria to assess humanitarian aid operations in both West Java and West Sumatra Earthquakes 2009 are coherence, coverage, and connectedness.
For BI and ML analysis, the most appropriate model of nucleotide substitution was (TIM+I+G).
Because adolescents are nested within groups and groups are nested within locations, a three-level analysis is most appropriate to account for the non-independence of the data.
Before phylogenetic analysis, the most appropriate evolution models of sequence were estimated based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) in M odeltest 3.7 [ 79].
Qualitative data, including interviews, observation and document analysis, are most appropriate for research where theory is nascent, and the research questions are exploratory.
For phylogenetic analysis, the most appropriate models of the DNA sequence evolution of each mcyMLST locus were selected by a hierarchical likelihood ratio test (hLRT) using MODELTEST version 3.7 [ 17].
