Percolator uses an SVM to iteratively learn to discriminate between correct and incorrect PSMs by using PSMs from a decoy dataset as a proxy for incorrect PSMs in the target dataset.
As a first comparison of methylation within the two cell types, we calculated an average β-value across the entire dataset as a proxy for global methylation levels in venous and arterial cell samples as previously described [ 25].
Therefore, in this study we have chosen to focus on the rate of alignment of a set of reads against a small reference dataset as a proxy for the broader utility of nanopore data for pathogen detection.
Sekara and Lehmann [29] studied how to deploy the electronic datasets as a valid proxy for real life social interactions, and found that the strength of electronic signals can be used to distinguish between strong and weak friendship ties.
Despite the lack of specific injury severity data in the NEISS dataset, using hospitalization as a proxy for severity, the vast majority of skateboarding-related injuries in the current study were not severe as they were able to be treated in the ED and not hospitalized (96.9%%).
Beyond the simple calibration presented here, inconsistencies among the various satellite datasets can be used as a proxy for satellite observation uncertainties.
The Zeidler et al. (2011) olivine dataset is gaining popularity as a proxy for forsterite in radiative transfer models (e.g., Poteet et al., 2011 mentioned earlier) and to our knowledge is the only recent laboratory dataset for Mg-rich silicates in a comparable wavelength range to our UV-VIS-NIR n and k.
The SNP rs10683701 and rs13397 were not available in the validation dataset, therefore rs7979246 was used as a proxy (r = 0.98) for rs10683701, no proxy was available for rs13397.
Reputation scores are provided in the dataset dumps and we use them as a proxy for social status in StachExchange systems.
For each species, we generated predictions of current and future distribution based on the vegetation and climate datasets described above, as well as stream proximity as a proxy for riparian vegetation.
