Sentence examples for by fitting a null from inspiring English sources

Amongst unilaterally deaf dogs in which the side of deafness was identified, the correlation in the side affected (ie left- or right-hand side) between dogs within the same litter was explored by fitting a null multilevel logistic model using Stata's -xtmelogit- command (Stata version 11, StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA) with dog fitted within litter within the dog's kennel of origin.

To ensure that our modelling strategy has accounted for heteroscedasticity due to cluster structure, the residuals from the best model were further analyzed by fitting a residual intercept model (i.e., null model) and a residual random intercept model.

We estimated the parameters of a parametric approximation of the null distribution of the statistic by fitting a skew normal distribution to results obtained from 1000 random permutations of case/control labels.

The null distribution of the log2-transformed probe set-specific expression is estimated by fitting a normal mixed model where the subject effect is random.

The null model, M 0, denotes that the Th0 and Th17 lineages behave similarly, which we implement by fitting a single DyNB model to Th0 and Th17 measurements.

Each gene family was analyzed for evidence of diversifying selection by testing if the data fits a null model (which does not allow for sites under diversifying selection) better than an alternative model, which does allow for sites under diversifying selection.

In order for the method to scale, we also provide a model-based approximation by fitting an exponential distribution to the 95th percentile of the null distribution.

To establish a baseline for comparing model performance, we fit a null model with no predictor variables.

We inferred the APC and AAAP gene family evolution using CAFE by fitting null models with a single parameter throughout the host phylogeny, and comparing those to models in which λ was allowed to differ in branches past the Sternorrhyncha MRCA (Table  3).

As a score-based variance-component test, SKAT can quickly calculate p values analytically by fitting the null model containing only the covariates, and so can easily be applied to genome-wide data.

CFI compares the fit of a null model (i.e., when unobserved variables are uncorrelated and independent) with the fit of the researcher's model [ 34].
