Obviously, these conclusions are conditional on the assumptions underlying our analyses, most importantly that mutations affect only male and female care, and do so equally, and that increases in paternal and maternal care result in identical changes in the expected survival of sons and daughters.
In our example, Player II could reason about what to do at node 9 conditional on the assumption that Player I chose L at node 8 but then slipped.
A will be a cause of B just in case the probability of B conditional on the assumption that A is realized by a free act is greater than the unconditional probability of B; A will be a spurious cause of B just in case these two probabilities are equal.
The idea is thus that the agent probability of B conditional on A is the probability that B would have conditional on the assumption that A has a special sort of status or history in particular, on the assumption that A is realized by a free act.
The tree likelihood L is calculated from the conditional likelihoods L i (n ), that is, the likelihood of all evolutionary histories conditional on the assumption that at node i exactly n binding sites are present.
Additionally f j (x i ) = P (x i | x i from species j ) = pij is the probability of observing the read x i conditional on the assumption that it originated from species j.
Correlations could therefore exceed the range of −1 to 1. Conditional on our assumptions, these distributions will be informative of the robustness of our estimates based on the social pedigree with respect to extra-pair paternities, and we compared our observed values with the simulated values in order to assess the direction and possible bias of extra-pair paternities.
Identification of factors associated with attrition through modeling depends on the efficient use of data and is conditional on modeling assumptions being met.
One option is a consequentialist ethical framework where "assistance [is] conditional on assumptions regarding future outcomes" (Duffield, 2001: 75).
This makes any energy scenario (the output of a given energy model) conditional on the input assumptions.
Our estimates are evidently conditional on several parametric assumptions subject to further scrutiny.
