Thus, to investigate the importance of DNA methylation and CpG hypermutability as compared with gBGC we performed linear regression analysis of GC*CpG by using methylation frequency, CpG[o/e], and recombination rate as candidate explanatory variables (Table 4).
This method forms a pair-wise comparison matrix 'A' as shown below, where the number in the ith row and jth column gives the relative importance of individual water pollutant parameter P i as compared with P j.
