Embedding the modelled probability functions in a stochastic algorithm allowed generation of dendrograms close to those of the real MSNs and pallidal type II neurons, while the algorithm failed to simulate type I dendrites.
In our behavioural tests, as in our simulated data, choice accuracy during the value-based decision making task was assessed as the percentage of trials in which the option with the higher modelled expected value was chosen (expected value = presented magnitude x modelled probability).
Strict correlation is imposed between the modelled probabilities at 30 days and 1 year to avoid irrational modelled outcomes.
The first and second testable implications are modelled as the probability of being a partner or to move to another practice: y_{ijt}=a_{i}+b{x}_{ij t-1)}_{ij t-1(t-1)}+g{zilon_{ijt} (13).
The dissemination of adjuvant treatment is modelled as the probability of being treated with a certain type of treatment (e.g., chemotherapy, tamoxifen).
With only two alleles at each locus, a genotyping error is easily modelled as the probability of an allele being read as the alternative allele, and this probability can be assumed to be constant across SNPs and samples, or specific to SNPs or samples, e.g. [ 21].
An alternative would be a more extensive decision analysis, in which expected life years and the probability of complications are modelled, e.g. with a Markov model with yearly cycles [ 33].
The probability that either mammography or CE MRI or mammography and CE MRI combined detected a cancer; the probability of recall was modelled using multinomial distributions.
The probability of disease was modelled as a function of the probability of exposure, which was assumed to be fixed, and of protection, which was assumed to increase smoothly with the value of the assay.
We modelled competition by a reduction in the probability of acquisition of a second strain in an already colonized host [7].
