Adjusted sire mortality means were constructed by fitting a generalized linear mixed model (with fixed effect of dam's age and random effect of hatch) to data (dead or alive) from individual birds, to get a residual for each bird, and then averaging progeny residuals for each sire (see Appendix).
The previous P-weighted mean was constructed from an analogy of the generated functions of P with those of T and M. Here, we will use another point of view.
Then, a common daily mean was constructed by averaging all available standardized observations for that day.
Bland Altman plots of the differences between the measurements against their mean were constructed.
A consensus body shape (generalized orthogonal least-squares Procrustes mean) was constructed using the mean landmark positions corrected for angle, scale and centroid size.
Owing to our small sample size, a non-parametric CI for the estimate (mean) was constructed from the quartiles of the bootstrap sampling distribution of θ.
The time-like surfaces with vanishing mean curvature are constructed by [7, 8].
Secondly, the way the variables indicating the benefit to completion are constructed means that they represent the overall benefit to completion, rather than the net benefit.
The "metabolic chain" means that the chains are constructed from metabolic pathway step reactions.
