Recent research has suggested that the lower climate sensitivity estimates preferred by Curry, Lewis, and other contrarians are likely incorrect because they fail to account for different efficiencies of different climate influences, and underestimate the amount of global warming in the oceans.
In some neurons (n = 4), neuronal responses were tested during pursuit along ±22.5° of the roughly estimated preferred direction to determine preferred directions more precisely.
We even considered revised wobble rules for eukaryotic genomes to estimate preferred codons in highly expressed housekeeping and tissue-specific genes.
Additional works identified positioning signals embedded in the DNA sequence, and used them to estimate preferred nucleosome positions (Ioshikhes et al., 1996, 2006; Peckham et al., 2007; Segal et al., 2006; Yuan and Liu, 2008).
Adjusted estimates were preferred to crude estimates and where multiple adjusted estimates were available, that adjusted for the most potential confounding variables was used.
Unconditional estimates are preferred since conditional estimates may be statistically biased.
Therefore the risk estimates from bootstrapping are considered even more reliable if the sample size is big enough, and bootstrap estimates are preferred when statistical significant values are found [ 7, 8, 12].
The shallower estimates were preferred based on a comparison to the wider fossil record.
Lifetime risk estimates were preferred over 10 or 20-year horizons, and absolute risks were preferred over relative risks and number needed to treat.
Complete case analysis produced similar results (data not shown), but for more stable estimates, we preferred to avoid redundant loss of data.
