Instead, most of the variation was explained by two eminently intuitive components: an overall increase or decrease in catalytic ability, and a preference for either fused ring or phenolic ether substrates.
I statistics should be interpreted as the level of inconsistency across HR estimates instead of the real variation across the underlying true effects (37).
As a measure of within-species variability in FID in rural habitats, we used the coefficient of variation (CVFID) instead of the variance because, contrary to this measure, CV was not related to body size (Regression of variance against body size: R2 = 0.25, n = 42, P = 0.0015; Regression of CVFID against body size: R2 = 0.003, n = 42, P = 0.93).
In addition, we applied the Wiener filter to the method in [8], instead of the bilateral-total variation (BTV) regularization to see the effect of the measurement validation only.
The IQR/median ratio was used instead of the coefficient of variation, given its lower vulnerability to extreme observations.
We used the IQR-to-median ratio instead of the coefficient of variation as a selection metric because it is less influenced by extreme values.
Since structural stability was significantly associated with the GC percentage in junction sequences, it is possible that long-range GC enrichment patterns, instead of the local GC variation, would result in the genome-wide thermodynamic advantages in alternatively spliced sites.
We chose the CR instead of the more popular variation coefficient because it more precisely reflects the repeatability and provides a graphical representation of the type of scatter, as stated by Bland and Altman [ 11] and the recommendations of the ERS-ATS committee [ 5].
Given the obvious selective advantage of 'labelling' contexts with distinct signals, why do gibbons and other non-human primates not produce acoustically more discrete signals for different contexts, instead of the subtle acoustic variations within just one call type?
