Descriptive statistics of rate variation include the overall range of variation and the standard deviation of rates across the tree [e.g. 7], [11], [21].
Strict clock analyses performed well on data simulated under the independent rates model when the standard deviation of log rate on branches, σ, was low (≤0.1), but were inappropriate when σ>0.1 (95% of rates fall within 0.0082-0.0121 subs/site/Ma when σ = 0.1, for a mean rate of 0.01).
Alanine transaminase was correlated with 7-day mean heart rate [r = 0.74], standard deviation of heart rate [r = 0.54] and visceral adipose tissue mass [r = 0.48].
For raw substitution rates, the standard deviations of rates are each only a fraction of the genome-wide mean values (40% of the mean for primate, 32% for rodent, and 21% for laurasiatheria).
However, uniform deviation of the rate of synonymous evolution from the mutation rate, caused by selection, cannot be taken into account in this way.
It provided relatively narrow posterior intervals and good recovery of node ages when rate variation between branches was low, that is, when the standard deviation of log rate on branches was ≤0.1.
The large deviation of swelling rate from neutron irradiated specimens implies the significance of He concentration and presumably dose rate on swelling in nuclear reactors.
The change of relative deviation of strain rate, the progressive development of die profiles with increase of iteration for optimization and the corresponding strain rate distributions are investigated.
Standard deviation of heart rate in ALC-treated rats was significantly higher than in untreated diabetic rats (P<0.0001).
The degree of deviation of drying rate from that predicted by the d2-law using the wet bulb was dependent on Tda.
