Sentence examples for means of marginal from inspiring English sources

The models were estimated by means of marginal maximum likelihood estimation using an expectation maximization algorithm and using numerical integration with 15 integration points in Mplus 7.4 (Muthén and Muthén 1998 2012).

This is done by means of marginal moment matching steps, which can be computed easily.

At the same time dividing the dataset into 3 partitions seemed more logical if harmonic means of marginal likelihoods were compared (-455638.67, -455391.40, -449073.19 for 61, 4 and 3 partitions, respectively).

Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between the control group and the test group as regard the total mean of marginal bone loss.

After a run of 1 million iterations in BayesTraits [15] to estimate the correlation between leaf-living ecology and reduced morphology, the following harmonic means of the marginal likelihood were obtained, with virtually no difference between runs: ∼71.50 for the model in which leaf-living ecology and reduced morphology are independent, and ∼56.50 for the model in which they are dependent.
