However, functional labels with only a few (<10) annotated genes, which constitute about half of the GO terms in yeast, mouse and human, pose a unique challenge in that any prediction algorithm that independently considers each label faces a paucity of information and thus is prone to capture non-generalizable patterns in the data, resulting in poor predictive performance.
Unable to compete in the long working hours cultures, and faced with a paucity of senior flexible roles, women are forced into lower-paid, lower-status jobs.
Not being privy to the instrument-design process, we were not able to craft the items in a manner consistent with our research goals and theoretical framework; thus, we were faced with a paucity of items relevant to particular constructs (e.g., achievement, homework) and potentially unreliable indicators for others (e.g., mindset).
However, we are faced with a paucity of data on how patients with certain characteristics respond to specific therapies (56).
Addressing the key requirements for success in this field by the stakeholders would help ensure that we are no longer faced with a paucity of approved biomarkers.
However, health care providers are often faced with a paucity of evidence for specific patient groups such as children and youth, and thus must rely on evidence of questionable applicability as the basis for their health care decisions.
Would-be helpers face a stunning paucity of data on what distinguishes successful ex-prisoners, but offenders who have been through the Safer Foundation are 40% less likely to be rearrested.There are two straws to grasp.
Pandemic influenza risk assessment faces a fundamental problem: a paucity of empirical data on the differences between pandemic viruses and their immediate ancestors from non-human hosts.
Part of the answer seems to be that when one is dealing, for example, with a concept that is distinctive of a particular author rather than common to a whole culture, one typically faces a problem of relative paucity and lack of contextual variety in the actual uses of the word available as empirical evidence from which to infer the rule for use, or usage, constitutive of its meaning.
