The term of the model reflecting inter-strain divergence across the entire gene was strain:mark, and epidiv was defined as the F statistics associated with this term (Fig. 4).
The average of permuted order statistics is defined as the expected statistic d E (i), which is plotted versus the observed statistic d(i) in a scatter plot.
Active genes in a gene set were defined as the moderated t statistics from the empirical Bayesian model larger than or smaller than (Wu et al, 2010).
In this paper, the BPA m ij (A) of each FES A is defined as the conditional PDF of decision statistics (hat {x}_{ij}(t)).
The test statistic Y k for threshold k is defined as the sum of all the PDT statistics in L k.
Relative statistical efficiency (RE) was compared, defined as the ratio of the ANOVA F-statistics for a given measure and the FACIT-Dyspnea score, which served as the reference measure [ 26- 28].
In environmental systems, auto-correlation is a widespread phenomenon [62, 63] which, in statistics, is defined as the similarity of, or correlation between, the values of a process at neighbouring points in time or space.
Perl scripts were developed to extract the information contained in the selected output file format, ACE, to calculate the longest contig, the percentage of reads for each assembly and the N statistics values, defined as the contig length in which the summation of the total bases in the contigs arranged by size accounts for 90%, 50 % and 30 of the nucleotides of the whole assembly.
In statistics, classification is defined as the categorization of given objects (observations) into two or more types.
In the descriptive statistics, range was defined as the minimum and maximum.
