When working with small data sets, the prior distribution can become influential in the posterior results, especially with respect to the spread of the posterior distribution, even if non-informative settings are chosen.
To deal with censoring, we used the method as outlined by Baser and colleagues [ 12] wherein costs are recorded as a panel (monthly) dataset and inverse proportional weighting is used to derive an unbiased estimate of costs even if we have informative censoring.
This experiment would perhaps have been even more informative if performed in a river-dwelling A. mexicanus, but the results are clear: if both the maternally and paternally inherited copy of insra have the mutation, the fish are insulin resistant and overweight.
We find that this ratio becomes even more informative if we also exclude oxygen from the hetero atoms, see Fig. 10.
He says the experiments would be even more informative if the condensates formed in lower dimensions, instead of being squeezed into the required shape.
It would certainly be even more informative if similar studies could be performed in Tg197 mice after the establishment of arthritis, thus providing a more accurate reflection of therapeutic intervention in the human disease.
An art exhibition can be smart and informative even if its contents are, as in "The Talent Show," quaint, silly, disingenuous and fatuous.
Sometimes an art exhibition can be smart and informative even if its contents are, as in "The Talent Show," variously quaint, silly, disingenuous and fatuous.
Behavioural results indicate that participants used instructions to adapt their behaviour faster to changes in the environment when instructions indicated that negative feedback was more informative, even if it was simultaneously less surprising.
This is true even if the images are informative, like Christoph Keller's images of animal locomotion, or beautiful, like Heike Baranowsky's swimmer doing the overhand crawl in what seems to be an endless swimming pool.
Note that an informative (even if weak) prior model is introduced only at node 3, and not at the previous nodes.
