In other words, the proposed method approximates the time variations with the piecewise linear model better than assuming the channels remain constant.
They probably don't think I'm smart, or hilarious or that I run my own charity, but hey, I guess that's better than assuming I'm a prostitute!
The assumption of contact probability varying with age matches reality better than assuming it to be constant [ 72].
Locally or globally estimated Markov models may describe it better than assuming that the bases are independent and identically distributed [ 19] but they fail to reflect the salient features of natural sequences [ 20].
Decision curve analysis was used to determine a range of threshold predicted probabilities of liver disease where the primary care decision to refer a patient to secondary care would be better than assuming all patients are disease free (ie, not referring anyone) and assuming that all patients have liver disease (ie, referring everyone).
Results from TESS and STRUCTURE revealed two possible maxima (K = 4 and K = 7; Supporting information, Fig. S1), but assuming the existence of four distinct homogeneous genetic groups explained the observed population differentiation better than assuming the existence of seven groups.
"Planning for these events is a better practice than assuming devices cannot be physically compromised by hackers because that's obviously not the case," he said.
Peto et al (1995) fitted a model of this type to mesothelioma mortality data for North American insulation workers and showed that incorporating a lag of 10 years from asbestos exposure to disease occurrence provided a better fit than assuming no lag period (Peto and Selikoff, 1982).
It has been widely assumed that birds are microsmatic or anosmatic; however, there is increasing behavioral, physiological as well as genetic evidence that their olfactory abilities are better than generally assumed (reviewed in [ 22, 45]), raising the possibility that some birds might utilize olfactory cues to assess potential mates.
Eurostat concluded that the UK economy had been doing much better than previously assumed since 1995, relative to other European countries, and, as such, its contributions needed to be increased.
