In our opinion, it is helpful to approximately categorize all statistical hypotheses into three categories with respect to their biological interpretability, whereas each category represents a different degree of difficulty to find a biological interpretation for a hypothesis.
In addition, the generation time hypothesis has been tested via categorizing branch length differences (e.g. annual faster than perennial or perennial faster than annual) even when rate homogeneity is not rejected by a relative rate test [ 24].
Finally, the non-linear remainder of the data was used to test the null hypothesis of consistent addition of states, by categorizing steps into two categories: those that added new states and those that did not.
To test these predictions, Experiment 1 contrasts individuals with extremely short tenure length by hypothesis, individuals categorized as newcomers with individuals with medium, long, and very long tenure.
Here, we review and assess the limitations of computational techniques for categorizing variants according to functional classes, prioritizing variants for experimental follow-up and generating hypotheses about the possible molecular mechanisms to inform downstream experiments.
Differences in accuracy when categorizing participants as HC or ADHD in females versus males were slight (79% versus 73% accuracy), and were consistent with our hypothesis of no major difference in discriminatory power between genders.
Why are you categorizing anyway?
In this study we give support to the hypothesis that choice of an appropriate data representation and a fixed number of clusters, combined with a good algorithm for categorizing this data, is sufficient for the production of biologically significant clusters.
Start by categorizing your purchases.
To test these hypotheses, we categorized NHANES respondents as living in either a coastal or a noncoastal county and further categorized them by eight regions: Atlantic Coast, Northeast, Great Lakes, Midwest, South, Gulf of Mexico, West, and Pacific Coast.
To test this hypothesis, patients were categorized according to previous inflammatory activity and analyzed with respect to clinical picture and outcome in a retrospective study.
