Reconceptualization is reflected by changes in connections and contrasts between variables, and more generally by changes in graph structure of PCA.
The characteristics of the sample and contrasts between the variables were analyzed using SPSS version 12.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA).
To see all significant differences refer to Additional file 8, which shows the odds ratios (ORs), 95% CIs and p-values for all possible contrasts of associations between variables in the final model.
To see all significant differences refer to Additional file 10, which shows the ratios of contact times, 95% CIs and p-values for all possible contrasts of associations between variables in the final model.
We conducted a sensitivity analysis to study the influence of variables determining the between flock transmission in contrast with variables determining the within flock transmission (R0, G, s), and the population structure.
The elliptical nature of the curves indicates significant mutual interactions between variables, in contrast to the circular shapes of the contour plots.
Species richness contrasts (RRD) as implemented in MacroCAIC are positive, when clades containing species with large values of the inherited character in question are more species-rich than their sister clade, leading to a positive correlation between variable contrasts and richness contrasts [ 32].
The temporal pattern of the variables involved in population dynamics was fitted by GAM models, which in contrast with parametric models does not assume any prior relationships between variables.
In contrast to the variable correlation between individual CpGs, the global mean methylation differences between replicates are very low (0.04, <0.01 and <0.01 between the 1, 4 and 16 h replicates, respectively; shown in Fig. 1e).
Pearson correlations were computed to assess the relationships between variables.
In contrast, other variables such as the marker modality were not as crucial to explain the performance between tasks.
