Even if news media coverage is weighted in their favor, male celebrities aren't exactly feeling immune from harsh scrutiny.
cDNA pool coverage was weighted by the number of sequences per species to account for variation in available sequence data.
Species was included as a random factor and cDNA pool coverage was weighted by the number of sequences per species to account for variation in available sequence data.
Further, read coverage was weighted by library size and length of the locus, in an attempt to allow direct comparisons between libraries and RTE types.
We observed that the raw average methylation across CpG sites was dependent on coverage and therefore calculated a coverage-weighted mean methylation for each CpG site.
All subsequent analysis was performed in R, using "GRanges" package to generate coverage-weighted summary methylation values for different genomic categories/regions.
We selected the 450k array CpG locations from the array annotation file and calculated coverage-weighted averages across all CpG sites that mapped to each genomic range and averaged across the CpG sites.
Coverage-weighted mean was calculated with the following formula: Wmean = (M1*W1 + M2*W2 + M3*W3…)/sum weights), where the CpG site was weighted (w = 1) if the coverage was greater than the median coverage in that pool and scaled down (w = 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, etc).
Findings reveal that news coverage is heavily weighted toward male sources even in countries such as the UK and Australia where gender equality ratings are relatively high.
Vote Leave complained that ITV's coverage has been weighted "heavily" toward those campaigning for Britain to stay in the European Union in terms of "[the amount of] airtime and how the packages are framed" [PDF].
— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) 28 May 12 Mr. McFaul's speech also riled the head of Russia Today, an English-language channel funded by the Kremlin whose coverage is heavily weighted with criticism of the United States.
