Thus one might argue that background motion (in dynamic trials of the interception experiments) affected the estimates of ball speed around the time of central trigger of the motor response (about 200 ms before button-press, see 7).
Thus, based on the pilot experiment and the estimates of ratios from top-view images, we think the sampling bias, even if present, will not affect our conclusions.
Second, because the laser-pulse photolysis experiments permitted the estimate of inhibition constants at 300 μM glutamate concentration, we further conducted the flow measurement at the same concentration.
Beta-Value in methylation experiments is the estimate of methylation level using the ratio of the methylation probe intensity and the overall intensity whereas M-value is a logit transformation of Beta-Value.
While the model prediction of the dependence of the characteristic length on the included wedge angle appears to be consistent with current experiments, the model estimate of the magnitude of the characteristic length significantly exceeds the value deduced from experimentation.
Furthermore, the experiment yields estimates of the isotherm describing the partitioning of the contaminant between the solid and liquid phases, and a concentration that might be expected under soil hydraulic conditions representative for the field situation.
As the slope estimates obtained by the tracking procedure are similar or better than those obtained by the other two procedures, we recommend preferring the tracking procedure over the other procedures in experiments where estimates of the slope are required.
This resulted in a maximum metabolic rate that always occurred during the first half of the 36°C phase of the respirometry experiment, while estimates of the 36°C RMR always occurred in the latter half of the 36°C exposure.
When considering the power experiments estimates of average bias across the 20,000 replicate experiments were small for the linear regression model, the variable-dispersion beta regression model and the fractional logit regression model (of magnitude 1E-04 through 1E-06 respectively).
A more accurate analysis would require a series of dedicated experiments providing estimates of the composition of these tissues and assessing the stability of this composition over time.
