Intuitively, it indicates the "resolution" of the data we can afford: the larger (alpha ) is, the more accurate the query answers are.
The UPLC-MS-based serum lipidomic profile provided more accurate diagnosis for LC patients than conventional alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection.
The DNA data may be a source of valuable additional information to develop new and more accurate species delimitation methods that should be used by alpha taxonomists [ 4].
Doing so has allowed Skyphrase to produce results that are significantly more accurate than what one has come to expect from Wolfram Alpha and Siri, he says.
Instead, a more accurate representation of growing septae are 3D ridges that are lined by platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA -expressing myofibroblasts, as well as the elastin fibers that they produce.
His $1.6 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is yielding data on cosmic rays that are 30 times more accurate than is possible on Earth.
Because assemblages vary in composition over space and time for stochastic reasons, sampling replication as well as saturation of alpha diversity help to capture the randomness of OTU recovery in microbial communities providing a more accurate estimate of beta diversity.
"Credible" may be more accurate.
Picky would be more accurate.
