In fact, they measured "expression noise" for each gene as the variance from its expression in isogenic organisms, and "mutational variance" as the variance of the change in the expression levels of the genes after the occurrence of mutations.
However, since the UMVCUE is unbiased we can regard the MSE as a variance from which confidence intervals can be derived.
Generally, as variance in returns from the loan portfolio value increase, the Value of Waiting for investment will approach one.
Eigenvalues, or latent roots, of a correlation matrix can be interpreted as variances for (latent) variables derived from the observed variables [ 46].
The National Review posted a biting rebuttal of the official Mozilla statement on Eich insinuating that the company fired Eich "as soon as he expressed any variance from the liberal orthodoxy that is the only acceptable view of any civilized individual".
These variance measurements have been made with samples of quite modest size, which should be a source of concern because higher-order statistics, such as variance, are poorly estimated from small sample sizes.
Often it is useful to also examine quantities such as variance, which are derived from higher moments; for example, it might be interesting to examine whether some types of input produce a noisier output than others.
Adjusting the variables makes it possible to observe the residual, which remains as simply the variance from the other elements that conform the variable.
In five studies, other measures of heterogeneity were reported, such as the estimated variance from the random effects model or the inclusion of an interaction term in a model.
The confidence bootstrap values (Additional File 2, Figure S1) of these phylogenies cover a spectrum of magnitude (as do their variances from congruency), but generally exceed those produced by MLST [ 22- 25].
