The Picard iteration implementing the GPCM iterates the membership evaluation (Eq. 9), and the cluster centres evaluation (Eq. 7) until convergence.
ML topologies were evaluated by bootstrap analysis of 1,000 neighbor-joining iterations or 100 ML iterations, implemented in PAUP* or RAxML web server, respectively.
The optimization procedure was repeated 100 times, and final conservation scenarios were obtained after 20 million iterations, implemented in the Site Selection Mode routine of the software SITES [47], [48].
Except for the orofacial movements localizer contrast (which had no cluster threshold), a cluster extent correction was applied for a whole-brain alpha of P < 0.001, using a Monte Carlo simulation with 10 000 iterations implemented in MATLAB (Slotnick et al. 2003).
From the EF1a SNP data, exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for each locus and each population were calculated using the Markov chain method with 5000 iterations implemented in Genepop v4.1.4 [ 70, 71] followed by sequential Bonferroni correction [ 72].
We estimated the benefits of the observed changes in sulfate concentration, specifying both the concentration response relationship and the valuation estimates generated above as normal distributions based on the point estimate and standard error, using a Monte Carlo simulation with 1,000 iterations implemented using Analytica software [ 53].
Assuming the algorithm estimates L a correctly, one additional round of iterations for p=L a +1 is implemented (relative to the number of iterations implement when L a is known).
A modified iteration procedure implemented in this work gives convergence of the solution after three iterations.
A tangent stiffness matrix, including an additional stiffness that describes the sliding effect of running pulleys is derived and nonlinear iteration is implemented by the Newton Raphson scheme.
