Building a model to pinpoint outbreaks of the sniffles based on geo-located tweets, where users mentioned the symptoms, means that by choosing the right "indicator" data it would deliver a much better accuracy.
Metcalf first showed that she could use microbes, combined with a statistical model, to pinpoint the time of death of mice to within 3 days, even weeks after death.
For example, strategies like CompStat have allowed police to use statistical models to pinpoint areas where violence is likely to erupt.
For example, large-scale, hypothesis-free studies are carried out in MDD models to pinpoint candidate genes or proteins to be further validated in clinical studies.
Moreover, we use the models to pinpoint potential systematic biases arising from the folding time of fluorescent reporter proteins, and from differences in the half-lives of the products of host and reporter genes.
In this study, we will make use of the Richards model to pinpoint the turning points of each wave of the epidemic, in order to ascertain the temporal changes of the epidemic in Taiwan in the summer months and during the fall and winter days.
We employed model selection to pinpoint particular environmental agents most strongly associated with observed divergence in gonopodial features between fragmentation regimes.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04630.004 Here, we use the yeast DEAD-box protein Mss116 as a model system to pinpoint the molecular basis for the specificity and mechanism of the conserved helicase core.
In contrast to the Year 1 children, there was no effect of target number in Years 2 and 3. Overall, this analysis has examined number line estimation, without regression modeling, in order to pinpoint individual digits that might be the target of selective strategy use.
