Sentence examples for by using a prior from inspiring English sources

In view of the fact that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is used as an adjuvant in order to induce the production of antibodies[17], we aimed to induce an immune response to i.v. injected TNP-OVA by using a prior injection of LPS.

Use of a shrinkage prior effectuates (Bayesian) shrinkage: (posterior) estimates of the feature-specific log-fold changes are shrunken towards the overall mean log-fold change by using a prior that is concentrated around this mean.

Given the absence of previous functional or epidemiologic data on the IGF1 SNPs we found associated with breast cancer risk, we calculated FPRPs by using a prior probability of true association.

This parameterization implies that individual variances for each SNP (i.e. τi) are estimated, conditional on a regularization parameter λ, which was estimated by using a prior gamma distribution bounded between 0 and 10.

Subsequently, the composite likelihood ratios are converted into posterior odds and finally into posterior probabilities by using a prior odds estimate that is derived from the statistics estimated using the validation data (Incyte YPD interactions).

However, given that the phase IV design ensures the most realistic assessment of the performance of a test when used as a diagnostic tool in the target population [ 6], we may want to reduce the influence from these prior phases by using a prior which is more diffuse than the actual results from the prior meta-analysis.

Levels of GABA were determined by HPLC using a prior derivatization at 4 °C by adding 30  μl of sample to 10  μl of reactive solution prepared from o-phthaldialdehyde (40 mM) in 0.4 M borate buffer (pH 10.4) containing ethanol (100 g/l) and 2-mercaptoethanol (4 g/l).

This strategy, based on past research works in text retrieval, is suitable for the context of batch learning, when a large training set can be built either by using a strong prior knowledge of data semantics (like for textual data) or with an expensive off-line pre-computation.

The results suggest that when analyzing binary data in the presence of ECP, bias in the estimation of variance components can be eliminated, or at least significantly reduced by using a generalized prior for the fixed effects.

The interfering effect of H2S is avoided by removing H2S using a prior guard column.

The results suggest that when analyzing binary data with extreme case problems, bias in the estimation of variance components could be eliminated, or at least significantly reduced by using a g-prior.
