We describe an alternative model selection strategy that identifies which hypothesis, selected from an a priori-compiled set of hypotheses, explains the most variation in the outcome.
We analyzed morphological data with principal components analysis on the correlation matrix in Stata 10 to identify axes defining the most variation in the data.
Most variation in cichlid color sensitivity is due to changes in the regulation of their cone opsin genes [ 26, 27].
Regression models explaining the most variation in cover also included population density.
The empirical result suggests that most variation in China's macroeconomic performance came from business cycle.
This study indicates that sample mass causes the most variation in the results.
Regression analysis indicates that building density explained the most variation in the dependent variable in Portland whereas, in Phoenix, the strongest correlations related to vegetation patterns.

Most variation in the human genome is neutral, meaning that it arose not by natural selection but by processes like harmless mutations and the random shuffling of the genome between generations.
The results of an international survey, with responses of 317 high-tech companies, suggest that not these three EKI-stages, but four organizational effectiveness functions (goal attainment, pattern maintenance, adaptation, and integration) account for most variation in responses.
We also calculated the pooled estimates after we excluded those studies with the most variation in effect or sample size.
