We therefore used a codon by codon maximum likelihood test, to ask if we could detect any codons that have been under repeated, strong positive selection.
The FDIC has locked horns with other agencies over who should be the new systemic-risk regulator and who should have authority to wind down failing non-banks.The repayments will increase available TARP funds to $170 billion, reducing the likelihood of having to ask Congress for more money.
For each gene we used a likelihood ratio test to ask if the two-branch model fit significantly better than the one-branch model.
We use a likelihood-ratio test to ask whether adding expression information (allowing the slope in Figure 2 to be nonzero) significantly improves our ability to make such a prediction as opposed to simply using the overall frequency of protein-protein interactions as our predictor (having the slope constrained to zero; chi-square distribution with one degree of freedom).
What consensus has been forged so far is likely to be tested in the months to come as he faces scrutiny over the effectiveness of the stimulus package and the likelihood that he will have to ask Congress for substantially more money to heal the fractures in the financial system.
As technicians adjusted my earphone, the President's press officer, an earnest man in his thirties, approached me to ask solicitously if I would refrain from asking about the likelihood of war between Iran and the United States, and ask instead about the possibilities for "peace".
The three questions with the most inter-regional agreement for percent of positive responses (highest p-value) are the perceived likelihood of being asked to report to duty, self-reported willingness to respond if required, and the ability of the Health Department to provide timely information.
The dependent variable in this study, likelihood to quit, was measured by asking surveyed PHC providers to answer the following question "How likely are you to quit your current job in the next 1 3 years".
The overall percent agreement with the 20 pandemic influenza attitude and belief questions ranged from 94% for the perceived need for pre-event preparation and training, the severity of consequences, and the likelihood of being asked to report, to 74% for awareness of role-specific responsibilities (Table S1).
The visitors need 159 more to avoid the likelihood of being asked to follow on.
