Since the point that has most probability is the point that has the minimum standard deviation (Wallace 2005), the most probable point has minimum geometrical distance from the origin in U-space to any point on g(U) = 0.
An algorithm, which detects and eliminates the excessive zigzagging iterations during the searches for the most probable failure point and the minimum performance target point, was incorporated.
Removed markers were re-attached to the genetic map in the interval of most probable fit (e.g. minimum increase in the number of recombination events).
To provide a range for the most probable estimates, we determined a minimum estimate by attributing illnesses to commodities implicated only in outbreaks where illness was transmitted by simple foods and a maximum estimate by including complex food outbreaks and attributing the outbreak illnesses to each ingredient in the implicated food (Technical Appendix 1 Table 3).
The imposition of the requirement that the prediction must be strong enough, i.e. that the difference between the probability of the predicted (most probable) state and the probability of the second most probable state must be larger than a certain minimum value also improves significantly secondary structure predictions.
Setting the 10% minimum difference between the most probable and the second probable conformation leads to 77.0% accuracy of the prediction, while increasing this limit to 20% increases the average accuracy of the secondary structure prediction to 81.2%.
The therapist would be able to select the initial choices of most probable impairments, and the algorithm will suggest a minimum amount of probing for identification.
The distance (m_{k}) is computed for all suggested routes, and the route with the minimum (m_{k}) is then chosen as the most probable route taken by the subject, and the mode choice is determined accordingly.
For the case of structure A, with a large ratio of length to minimum cross section, we observe that the most probable configuration both at JC and at JOC is a dimer.
We have noticed that although using two different approaches implemented in GERUD and COLONY, the general conclusion about multiple paternity, and inverse correlation between reproductive success of sires and their relatedness to mothers was the same, the most probable number of sires given by COLONY is higher than the minimum number given by GERUD.
