Truncation of the data to be fitted is justified (indeed necessary) based on mechanistic considerations and not based on statistical classification of outliers as in some qPCR model-fitting methods [6], [8], [10].
Sensitivity analyses were planned a priori to assess the impact of potential outliers (based on statistical significance of the standardized residuals) and sources of heterogeneity.
We use box plots over ANOVA techniques because the latter is vulnerable to the presence of outliers and are based on statistical assumptions (e.g., normal distributions and equal variance), which our small cluster sizes fail to meet [ 48].
In later work, Beloglazov et al. [69] proposed an adaptive auto-adjustment of the upper threshold, based on statistical analysis of historical data collected during the lifetime of VMs, combating statistical outliers in their earlier approach.
Biological criteria of normality are based on statistical concepts.
1) Comparison based on statistical evaluation.
Insurance is a game of odds, a bet based on statistical models.
"They have very sophisticated interpretations that are based on statistical, genetic, and historical reasoning," Panofsky said.
Despite the best science, climate modeling is based on statistical predictions.
