An assessment of SGS methods for transcript reconstruction found that expression level estimates varied widely across methods, even when based on similar transcript models [53].
In many other product categories, specifications are not even based on a uniform measurement method from maker to maker, and tweaking tests to get desired results is a common practice called specsmanship.
Even based on indirect mean age estimates, the method remains more accurate (but also more prone to producing outliers) than the Horiuchi-Coale method.
In this parameter optimization test with Akt dynamics, SPEDRE out-performed other methods, indicating that the parameter neighbourhoods it gave to LM were better than the neighbourhoods from other global methods, even though SPEDRE-base had equivalent performance in non-biological tests.
This method, even though being based on sound theory, has been further criticized for the fact that over VO2max, the power/VO2 relationship is no longer linear [17,18].
These latter methods have been considered the gold-standard in research synthesis [ 2] and even replace methods based on summary statistics [ 3].
New methods even allow assessing the strength of these trends compared with expectations based on drift only (Hadfield et al. 2010).
Recent top-down estimates for the US, however, suggest that even revised methods based on IPCC guidelines underestimate livestock CH4 emissions in recent years at the national or state level [20 23].
Practitioner Summary: We focused on comparing methods that, even though based on different concepts, serve the same purpose.
Our results indicate that while estimation of species tree topology can be quite robust to the presence of gene flow, the inference and detection of migration is problematic, even with methods based on full likelihood models.
