From these expressions for the fitnesses of the two types of organism, we can immediately deduce that the altruistic type will only be favoured by selection if there is a statistical correlation between partners, i.e., if altruists have greater than random chance of being paired with other altruists, and similarly for selfish types.
The family's response to pain and variability in coping influences the degree of functional disability that accompanies the pain experienced by the adolescent, 14 19 and a statistical correlation between the parents' experiences of pain and the adolescents' pain rating has been shown.
The observed frequency of experiments in all world regions is a function of the distribution of cities in the sample (Fig. 1), an observation confirmed by the statistical correlation test.
An analysis to determine coexpressed genes to identify possibly functionally relevant biological modules was performed with modulated modularity clustering (Stone and Ayroles 2009) on sets of genes filtered by statistical correlation with a biological factor of interest (e.g., genes with significant genotype-by-diet interactions or those highly correlated with weight).
Based on this experimental database, parameters that significantly influence the joint behavior are determined by employing statistical correlation method and these key parameters are assembled to form a joint model.
Working with the state-space representation of a dynamical system, the variational Bayes approach for identification of modal parameters is derived by ignoring statistical correlation between latent variables and the model parameters.
The principal basis for demonstration of the applicability of in vitro tests is the in vitro in vivo modeling, by using statistical correlation between in vitro IC50 molar values (the 50% inhibitory concentration for the endpoints measured) and human blood molar concentrations LC50 (50% lethal concentrations).
The family wealth is maintained, not by any fitness advantage of gambling, but by the statistical correlation between gambling success and natural selection in the following generations.
Secondly, although some clinical measurements were different between two groups' comparisons in the present study, no obvious relationship was found with the arterial stiffness changes by the statistical correlation analysis, further analyze the data with adjustment was not performed as other studies did [ 28, 29].
