We have used a more straightforward measure of rate variability, based on the ratio of the estimated ERs in different parts of the phylogenetic tree, to test whether various factors correlate with rate variability.
Measuring processes of care is often more straightforward than measuring outcomes.
The site typically generates the list using a variety of secret-sauce algorithms, but this year they've done something a bit more straightforward: they measured how tall each story was on the site.
There, it is argued, it is easier to assess individual performance because it is more straightforward to measure a member of staff's ability to generate new business or profits.

In a series of preliminary analyses, we estimated ordered logit models, but since this did not produce considerably different results, we opted for a more straightforward binary measure of intentions.
The most commonly considered deformation potential is that of the band gap (α v E g), as it is more straightforward to measure or calculate a relative change (the energy difference between the valence and conduction bands) than the absolute shifts of individual bands, that is: 2where CB and VB refer to the lower conduction band and upper valence band, respectively.
