Among them is the estimation of growth parameters which provide the basis for biological modeling and site-specific management.
This is especially true considering traditional models used for combining aerodynamics and site specific climatological information.
A calibrated LEACHMN model and site-specific weather data were used to evaluate the effects of early-season weather conditions on N rate and availability.
The branch-site model and site-specific model of the likelihood method were performed using the program codeML implemented in PAML 4.2 software package [58] for testing positive selection on individual sites along a specific lineage and at different sites, respectively.
Using this model and site-specific data, the predicted urinary arsenic concentrations reasonably agreed with the measured urinary arsenic concentrations.
Following the age cohort method proposed by Breslow and Day [ 11, 12], we used Poisson regression to model overall and site-specific cancer mortality rates as a function of age, sex, and canton-level oil exploration and production activities.
Model A can be compared with its site-specific counterpart (model M1) using the LRT with df = 2. In addition, the lineage and site-specific model model A null was applied as a second LRT with model A. In model A null, the additional site category is fixed at neutral rather than being estimated from the data, and this LRT provides an additional test for model A (Zhang et al., 2005).
Modeling the sex- and site-specific SBP residual as the outcome, we omitted age, site, and height (because the residual is uncorrelated with these variables by definition) but included BW and all CW measures (comparable with model 3A in Table 3).
For the agt1 dataset the general time reversible model of nucleotide substitution and site-specific rate categories following a gamma distribution (GTR+I+Γ) was assigned as the best fitting model considering the Akaike information criterion (AIC).
Examples of network models that could be used include the ones described in Section 2.1, such as deterministic Wyner models, random models based on different point processes and site-specific scenarios based on real data.
Combining the development of general theory and site-specific models parameterized with field data reveals the underlying driving forces in these communities and enables us to make better predictions about possible population and community responses to different management schemes.
