Stacey offered suggestions of potential geocoding databases, including those best suited to ancient locations, while Elizabeth provided guidance on the most appropriate and effective dataset combining techniques, statistical software packages, and designed the script used to combine final datasets.
SY and XB designed the overall study, compiled and curated the datasets, designed the statistical approaches, performed the computational analysis, developed biological interpretation, and wrote the manuscript.
N.S. and S.V. designed the collation of dataset for the present use.
EL carried out all of the calculations, data processing and analyses, KS helped build datasets, and SJH designed experiments, drafted the manuscript and led the overall project.
We make a general distinction between those methods and tools designed to help explore datasets, and those designed to help present results to others.
This section provides details of the datasets and the experimental design, the evaluation measures we used to evaluate LP, and the comparison methods including chi squared, SWRF, and SLR.
RE designed the analytic datasets, analyzed data, and edited the manuscript.
Finally, simulated datasets are designed for the different comparisons and the model is illustrated using the real data.
SYK designed the study, collected datasets, performed bioinformatics analyses, and drafted the manuscript.
AG designed the study, linked the datasets, extracted data and drafted the final paper.
