According to the Neyman-Pearson theorem, the detector that optimizes the probability of detection PD for given probability of false alarm PFA is provided by the likelihood ratio: f y / ℋ 1 f y / ℋ 0 ≷ ℋ 0 ℋ 1 θ (14).
Finally, based on our model estimates we were able to determine the required number of eggs to count for each sample size, enabling investigators to optimize the probability of correctly classifying a theoretical TDE while minimizing both financial and technical resources.
Where this gold standard validation proves elusive, these new medical simulators must be reconfigured to optimize the probability of validation.
Instead, we used region and population size as proxy indicators that we expected would optimize the probability of equivalence in baseline characteristics between study groups.
Elegantly, this population structure could balance the need to optimize the probability of transmission, while ensuring that new variants are generated at a frequency that ensures infection chronicity without overwhelming the host.
We blasted our data against the 400 most highly expressed genes in Arabidopsis (C. Fizames, pers. comm). in CLC DNA Workbench in order to optimize the probability of identifying a set of genes with high coverage in each of all or most species.
Timing of reproductive events has become central in ecological studies linking success in pollination and seed dispersion to optimizing the probability and periods of encounters with pollinators or dispersers.
Then, a single-factor evaluation matrix was constructed using the continuous grading function in order to optimize the probability distribution of the evaluation grade in the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method.
While the current EDAs require much time in the statistical learning process as the relationships among the variables are too complicated, we employ the Selfish gene theory (SG) in this approach, as well as a Mutual Information and Entropy based Cluster (MIEC) model is also set to optimize the probability distribution of the virtual population.
The likelihood function is thus optimized as the probability of coalescence of all lineages approaches 1 along the branch with length t2, which occurs as t2 approaches infinity.
