As expected, fitting alternative statistical models to the same dataset resulted in differences in the size and significance of the various effects.
First, we used a maximum likelihood method for fitting alternative diversification models to the LTT plot [ 102] using the R package LASER 2.2 [ 103].
Deviations from the linear model (Equation 1) are evaluated by fitting alternative model, for example, the linear-quadratic model is a dose response model that measures the concavity of the dose response relationship.
Now, as then, a President is making increasingly menacing threats and politicizing intelligence to fit alternative facts.
The statistical software STATA [ 38] was used to fit alternative time to event distributions to the IPD datasets individually.
AICs of the above three alternative period models were calculated to find out the best fitted alternative model for each gender group.
To explore this, we also fitted alternative models with a time-updated covariate indicating when children were protected by posttreatment prophylaxis, rather than stratifying on event number.
To calculate the relative weighting applied to the conspecifics and heterospecifics in within-patch foraging decisions, we fitted alternative forms of the decision-making models.
One possible way to test for such differences is to fit alternative Markov models to observed interaction sequences (e.g. [ 33]).
For biomass, LAI and LAR we further fitted alternative models including species richness instead of sward type, to compare the effects of species richness (one aspect of species composition) on our subplots with those obtained on seeded experimental plots.
To test these predictions about CR2 functionality, we applied our MCMC analysis [ 3] to fit alternative models of exclusive CR1 or CR2 usage, or mixed control region effect (Table 1).
