No data series are available for the number of people belonging to these cooperatives.
In marine systems, however, for the overwhelming majority of nonvertebrate animals and plants, no data series are available other than abundance and distribution that document phenotypic change in populations, for example in reproductive timing, behaviour, morphology or growth rates.
No economic data series is a magic bullet, which is why our technique is to account for several different data series and average them together.
Finally, a same approach has been performed to elements investigated in the PM2.5 fraction, even if no historical data series are available.
"But it is no longer the case: the data series shows a peak in the percentage of year 10 females [aged 14-15] scoring in the highest bracket of self-esteem scores in 2007, but the figures in that group have since declined".
"I have no doubt that my historical data series can be improved and will be improved in the future … But I would be very surprised if any of the substantive conclusions about the long-run evolution of wealth distributions were much affected by these improvements".
When the actual scenario (1995 2008) is implemented by updating exogenous variables or forcing inputs and introducing the potential (virtual) population increase, as derived from the plans, the model is able to predict the whole set of 1995 2008 observed data series with no further calibration against data.
"I have no doubt that my historical data series can be improved and will be improved in the future," Piketty wrote, "but I would be very surprised if any of the substantive conclusion about the long-run evolution of wealth distributions was much affected by these improvements".
As I make clear in the book, in the online appendix, and in the many technical papers on which this book relies, I have no doubt that my historical data series can be improved and will be improved in the future (this is why I put everything online).
The comparative analysis of the two sets of cases, the 2010 VPs, developed in Romania by teachers in our Faculty and the 2011 VPs, developed in the USA) was performed with the nonparametric Mann Whitney test (data series with no normal distribution).
As GEO data series usually consist of no more than 5 20 samples, we collected gene expression data from many different GEO series.
