Sentence examples for hypothetical trait from inspiring English sources

Construct validity is the ability of an instrument to measure the degree to which an individual possesses a hypothetical trait or quality.

It has been argued that higher weights should be given to the between-breed dimension [ 34] or that the total genetic variance of a hypothetical trait should be considered [ 36], but no consensus has been reached on a single method.

In the 1960s and '70s some psychologists, including Walter Mischel and Albert Bandura in the United States, recalled the Hartshorne and May study and variations of it to support their view that behaviour is controlled not by hypothetical traits but according to the degree of regularity of external stimuli.

The nature of such hypothetical traits, however, is unclear.

Two markers (on positions 50 and 150) unlinked to each other were designated as loci affecting a hypothetical quantitative trait.

For this purpose, a core set of breeds was introduced in that the total genetic variance of a hypothetical quantitative trait was maximised (MVT core set).

Following this, the MVT core set method suggests conserving breeds that show a large difference in the respective population mean of a hypothetical quantitative trait.

PSV compares the variance of a hypothetical neutral trait evolving randomly to the variance expected under a star phylogeny (with all branch lengths = 1), and PSR is PSV multiplied by S; therefore, it is comparable to S (Helmus et al., 2007).

Next come the isotopes, which unlike the elements were not implemented as constants to give us a bit more flexibility when working with newly-discovered or purely hypothetical isotopes: sealed trait Isotope { def element: Element def massNumber: Option[Int] }.

Linkage of markers with hypothetical genes controlling the trait of interest was assessed by calculating the plausibility criterion (odds ratio) for and against linkage.

Figure 1 shows the plots of distribution of the probability of linkage between the markers analyzed and hypothetical genes controlling a trait.
