An explanation based on few samples (often even a singleton sample) from these irrelevant variables is typically almost as good as an explanation based on (the computationally costly) marginalization over these variables.
When asked about the reopening, Brabeck of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade said "NOAA and FDA continue to make decisions affecting consumers based on too few samples, not sampling for all the toxins, not testing for all the metals and not listening to what scientists, fishermen and nonprofit groups are saying.
Male-specific coliphage also showed some evidence of an association with GI illness at a marine site in Mission Bay, California [ 32] but this was based on few positive samples.
Such trend has been found in PCa, but most studies limit their analysis to expression array results, based on few tumor samples, and generally lacking subsequent validation in larger and independent datasets [ 5, 12].
However, all these studies are based on few grapevine samples, mainly berries, inflorescences, leaves or tendrils at one/two developmental stages; therefore an expression atlas, covering a much wider spectrum of plant structures during grapevine life cycle, is required to provide a detailed overview of miRNA regulation and a solid base for functional studies.
For cases where the statistical analysis must be performed based on very few samples, or even none at all, commonly used frequentist statistics are demonstrated to be inadequate.
Both of these heritability estimates were based on relatively few samples.
We would also note that our network is based on relatively few samples.
Although we did not identify any PXR antagonists or allosteric antagonists, based on the few samples tested, the complete ToxCast data set could be more exhaustively studied with both computational and in vitro methods in the future (Ekins et al. 2008a).
C. elegans prevalence also correlated negatively with temperature in Münster apples, although in this case correlations were based on only few sampling dates and thus possibly unreliable (Table 5).
