Advanced application of mathematical modeling takes the analysis of time-course data well beyond the standard statistical analyses and offers powerful means to test the existing knowledge against data as well as to hypothesize alternative mechanisms that can generate the observed data.
Biogeographical models, however, are best seen not as constraints over the data but as alternative hypotheses to explain the data (Sanmartín et al. 2008).
Facebook has lost millions of users per month in its biggest markets, independent data suggests, as alternative social networks attract the attention of those looking for fresh online playgrounds.
Establishment of Observatories within the civil society has not only ensured the latter's involvement in monitoring implementation of children's rights, but has also provided additional/alternative data, as well as contributed additional expertise in child welfare issues; The system of indicators to evaluate the implementation of children's rights is established and is being consolidated.
Since integer order differential equations cannot precisely describe the experimental and field measurement data, as an alternative approach, non-integer order differential equation models are now being widely applied [23, 24].
The goal of our study was to predict solar radiation values in locations without ground measurements, by using the reanalysis data as an alternative to the use of satellite imagery.
"Oak HC/FT's financing will enable us to broaden our reach to the world's largest corporations and utility providers, as well as accelerate our launch of new applications using utility data as an alternative source for credit scoring and identity verification," said Sanjoy Malik, Urjanet's chief executive, in a statement.
Becker et al. in [6] use cellular data to characterize mobility trends across different metropolitan areas, while the authors in [7] propose using cellular data as an alternative to travel surveys so that more accurate spatio-temporal representations of mobility flows are obtained.
In principle, LS methods could be used for such data as an alternative to bootstrapping [ 16] and jackknifing methods [ 17].
Pearson's correlation analysis was used to evaluate qRT2-PCR data, as an alternative method for the grouping of PRV genes into kinetic classes.
