This works well enough for smaller animals, but it predicts that an elephant should weigh one and a half times as much as it actually does, and that deviation is likely to be much larger for a Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus or Diplodocus.Dr Packard's model gets round this by abandoning simple logarithmic transformation in favour of a more complicated, so-called nonlinear model.
Therefore, our primary hypothesis reads: The observed sample standard deviation falls sufficiently small of a predefined benchmark, implicating that the true (but unknown) population standard deviation is likely to be smaller than that benchmark as well.
This deviation is likely to be due to the light-dark regime of illumination used in this study and the consequent daily alteration in temperature.
If a large number of probes on the array match the GMO analyzed, the standard deviation is likely to increase.
Geometric means and standard deviations reported are likely to be smaller than normal calculations involving untransformed data.
This means that planning deviations are likely, because overconfidence leads project managers to assume that deviations from their planning figures are less likely than they actually are.
This finding aligns with our current understanding of the reprogrammed pluripotent state as a complex, highly regulated state (Jaenisch and Young, 2008), deviations from which are likely to result in loss of pluripotency and lineage commitment.
Minor deviations are likely a result of a nonlinear refractive index gradient or step caused by the KOH etch [8].
Our assumptions about the number of households per village, the average number of household members, and the proportion of eligible households in each village, will be monitored as the baseline survey proceeds, and compensatory action (increasing the sample size) will be taken if deviations from those assumptions are likely to challenge the statistical power achieved.
Deviations from the random distribution are likely to result from selective pressure on protein sequences, and therefore to reflect biological functionality as phosphorylation substrates.
