However, the qualitative similarity of estimated MRFs from our simple bivalent model and Wang and Luo's full quadrivalent model, when compared to MRF estimates in diploids, questions the validity of this statement to some extent.
While the magnitude of this study's home ETS estimates may be in question, one may still conclude from these findings that long-term ETS exposure in the home is a likely risk factor for RCC.
Otherwise, accept the null hypothesis (H0) that the estimated regression coefficient in question is not significantly different from zero.
The results of the pilot study are compiled as the training dataset, which is then used to estimate the probabilities in question.
If the point estimate of the combined effect size with one study omitted lies outside the CI of the overall estimate, the study in question has an excessive influence.
Researchers interested in combining this with other estimates of the value in question might want to look at how likely the other estimates are according to this calculation and how likely this estimate is according to other calculations.
Taxa represented in the pollen spectrum with values < 1% cannot be recommended in reconstructions, as standard deviations are usually larger than the mean cover estimates of the taxon in question.
Another issue concerning any sampling method is the required time to obtain reasonably good estimates of the quantity in question.
Thus, the tissue origins of all 5,577 individual malignant samples were analyzed by reconstructing cancer-specific gene density estimates without the sample in question.
Within the range where the density estimate of the cancer in question was highest, we calculated the area between it and the next highest density estimate, regardless of what cancer type it represented (Additional file 1).
