Resulting model outputs are highly consistent with available other range maps such as NOAA (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/pdfs/rangemaps/bowheadwhale.pdf) and the IUCN (http://maps.iucnredlist.org/map.html?id=2467) and checked by colleagues familiar with the distribution of this species.
Based on known presences and absences of cheatgrass collected in the field, the Maxent 2013 and GLM 2013 relative probability outputs were highly correlated at absence locations but less correlated at presence locations.
Both 'galign' and 'Maq' outputs are highly dependent on the specific filtering parameters used.
First, the transmission parameter in this model occurs in the exponent of an exponential function (equation 1), and model outputs are highly sensitive to changes of the exponent.
Graphical outputs are highly dynamic, being rendered on the fly.
We showed that simple functional forms relating TF concentrations to eve expression outputs are highly predictive of wild-type and mutant expression patterns.
The approach therefore assigns neutral predictions much more frequently than false positive or false negative predictions, suggesting that its outputs are highly conservative, and thus unlikely to produce artefacts.
Unsurprisingly, here the outputs were highly sensitive to variation and gave vision loss percentages ranging from 0.71 to 5.71% of the population when halving and doubling the implemented progression rates, respectively.
Preliminary analyses of the results achieved by fitting the model parameters to the metrics in Table 2, using data obtained by simulations using the experimentally measured Ca-transient scaled by 90, 100 and 110%, showed that the model outputs were highly sensitive to the calcium concentration.
In bench model studies, PPLL output was highly correlated with changes in the distance between a transducer and a reflecting target (R2 = 0.977).
