Sentence examples for internal congruence from inspiring English sources

Several authors have attempted to selectively choose points from an available pool of fossil calibrations by evaluating the internal congruence of molecular age estimates provided by these calibrations, both against each other and against the fossil record [ 60- 64].

Using all available and vetted fossil calibration points therefore seems a better approach than relying on assumptions of molecular clock internal congruence to discard what might be perfectly good information from the fossil record.

While there may be interesting reasons to use the internal congruence of molecular age estimates from multiple calibration points to identify outliers, such an approach is ultimately a poor substitute for the careful selection of calibration points from the paleontological record [ 2, 6].

A simulation, by contrast, represents the world in a much more approximate way than a model, without the requirement for congruence of internal causal relations.

However, considering that <2% of positions were flagged by Quiver relative to those not flagged by Quiver in the assembly, this demonstrates a congruence between internal regions flagged by Quiver and coverage as assessed by the Illumina mapping.

But it is clearly visible that the rest of the internal branches have low node scores (congruence among individual trees) and high bootstrap support (site pattern sampling in the concatenation tree).

It should be recognised, however, that while consensus between reviewers strengthens internal validity this does not necessarily ensure congruence with the original meanings intended by the author of the framework (external validity).

Indeed, when the level of topological congruence is expressed for each specific internal node of the proposed species tree (figure 1), the result is a tree where most of the nodes (73%) show the topology that is most represented (>50%) among the trees in the phylome.

We used this scale because of its conceptual congruence (convergent validity) with aspects of internal coherence [ 12, 13] 2) The long version questionnaire on 'autonomic regulation' (aR) measures the autonomic functioning of an individual with an 18-item scale in three subscales (orthostatic-circulatory, rest/activity regulation and digestive).

The author stipulates that an ethics audit is a process for evaluating and diagnosing the external and internal consistency of an organization's values and their congruence with real behaviour.

Additionally, the consistency of our findings with current theory around patient care teams and quality of care for patients with chronic conditions, and their congruence with the published literature supports their internal validity [ 9, 14, 15].
