For quality assessment, we also need a more informative quantity, the absolute value of relative error between the true risk probability and the estimated risk probability.
Apart from providing greater statistical power, BIS AUC provides an indication of both sleep quantity and quality [ 17], which might be more informative than sleep quantity alone.
Further analysis of intensity scores alone, however, demonstrated that for these proteins the intensity score alone was more informative than when quantity and intensity scores were combined into one score.
However, the brain networks have also been shown to be highly modularized [30], [38], [40], [43], and thus raises the question as to whether the global network quantities are informative enough to depict the local topological organization of the complex brain networks.
We used cob for three main reasons: (1) the relatively short tract to be sequenced; (2) the high quantity of informative sites; and (3) the fact that cob primers, being quite degenerate, made us more confident that we would not lose part of the overall variability of the gene because of incidental primer annealing failures in PCR.
Is information always informative?
These quantities are especially informative when populations are studied for highly variable multiallelic markers, such as microsatellites.
The total quantities of phylogenetically informative sites in the multigene data sets are much higher than those in the single- or dual-gene data sets, leading to greater support for clades (though not necessarily leading to greater confidence in relationships, since only plastid genes were used).
The mean methylation quantity of the informative CpG sites per each gene was used to figure out the methylation proportion of the candidate genes (Dataset S1).
This is not informative and was not the quantity of interest in this study, but rather the median latency for those who died with mesothelioma.
