Finally, we study the effect of imperfect tag population knowledge on the performance achieved by the readers.
Thus, any measure of relative risk is imperfect in this population.
Part of the challenge is that even the best characterization of the association between HbA1c and blood glucose shows an imperfect relationship in populations.
The external threat of ISIS and of its recruits in France may be best handled by the French police and military, but the internal problem of the Muslim population's imperfect integration is one that merits national debate, and that doesn't lend itself well to the war metaphor.
The Israelis cited Hamas' use of human shields, Gaza's dense population and imperfect Israeli intelligence as the causes of "unfortunate — yet lawful" harm to Palestinian civilians.
To me it (only) takes a population of imperfect replicators of whatever nature for the natural selection to act, and some models on early life suggest how molecules, crystals of some sort could replicate on different inorganic substrates.
Taken together, these data support the conventional paradigm that peripheral CD4 T cell populations are imperfect indicators of an individual's susceptibility to TB, and instead indicate that early T cell depletion by SIV (or perhaps HIV) that depletes both peripheral and mucosal CD4 T cells may predict risk of reactivation.
When the phasing of individuals from source populations is imperfect (e.g., statistical phasing without the help of transmission), our method has an advantage.
Additionally, the coverage and accuracy of the register are also imperfect for the more stable population, due to the voluntary nature of registration and de-registration.
When faced with a sampling frame that has an imperfect correspondence with the target population, the survey researcher must decide whether to use the frame as is or to expend the resources to correct its imperfections.
Infanticide risk coupled with imperfect infanticide protection in a population creates a fitness landscape with two adaptive peaks, one representing complete paternity certainty and the other representing a compromise between maximizing paternity and minimizing infanticide risk.
