For each subject, the following descriptive statistics were computed in Microsoft Excel (Office 2000, Microsoft corp .: the mean (x ¯ ), the minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) rates, the maximum to minimum rate ratio (MAX/MIN), and the coefficient of variation in rate values (expressed as a percentage (%CV)).
Guaranteed data rate variation: the impact of increasing the minimum guaranteed data rate from 0 up to the total network capacity of a VNO BG.
For each platform, we calculated the number of adjacent targets required to reliably detect a single copy-number variation (gain or loss), given the required minimum rate of false-positives and false-negatives.
A minimum evolution method (1,000 bootstraps, Tamura-Nei 93 substitution model with rate variation among sites) as implemented in MEGA (Kumar et al. 2004) was used to construct a phylogeny based on DNA sequences of the TAS2R genes.
Statistics among the former usually include the high-low ratio or extremal quotient (EQ, maximum rate divided by minimum rate) [ 5, 7], and the unweighted (CV) and weighted (CVw) coefficients of variation.[ 7] Among the latter, the systematic component of variation (SCV) proposed by McPherson et al, [ 15] and the chi-squared statistic [ 7, 10] are the most frequently used.
The disparity between molecular clock estimates and fossil evidence of clade age minima has diminished in association with the development of molecular clock methodology, particularly in accommodating rate variation.
For PCI, there was considerable state-to-state variation, with the maximum age/sex adjusted rate per 100,000 of 340 in Florida being 83% higher than the minimum rate of 186 in Oregon (see Table 2).
But I do have a minimum rate".
Almost all say the bare minimum rate would be catastrophic.
Higher guaranteed PU minimum rate reduces the achieved SU rate.
