Records for laboratory results (available for Japanese encephalitis but not AES) and vaccination history were largely incomplete, so inferences about the epidemiology and etiology of AES could not be made.
Also, given incomplete information, an inference engine will figure out what additional facts are needed in order to reach one of the goals.
We then apply this test to two statutory provisions that we argue Congress left intentionally incomplete: the "strong inference" provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 6 of the Clayton Act.
Here we present secondary analyses to investigate the consequences of incomplete adherence for inferences about the effects of early weaning, comparing outcomes among mother-child pairs in the intervention and control groups who stopped breastfeeding earlier or later than intended by the study design.
Information is therefore incomplete and uncertain and inference methods need to be employed to diagnose the physical conditions and processes.
Mourifié research interests lies in micro-econometrics, especially in causal inference, and incomplete models and their applications to treatment effects and policy evaluations.
In particular, many diagrammatic systems are self-consistent, incorrect, and incomplete, and complexity of inference with the diagrams is NP-hard.
We describe how coalescent hidden Markov models are able to call individual recombination events in ancestral species through inference of incomplete lineage sorting along a genomic alignment.
This tackles the missing value issue in microarrays in a probabilistic framework and still enables a posteriori inference of incomplete observations without imposing any pre-processing of the data.
However, the sensitivity of phylogenetic inference to incomplete datasets is still under investigation, with mixed results from phylogenomic analyses on large but patchy supermatrices (Roure et al. 2013; Philippe et al. 2004).
In fact, it has been argued that the younger estimates obtained with coalescent approaches may be the results of unaccounted recent gene flow [ 59], since most multilocus coalescent methods of species trees inference assume incomplete lineage sorting as the single source of gene tree incongruence (e.g., [ 60- 62]).
