Sentence examples for patterns we assumed from inspiring English sources

To identify the genes with periodic expression patterns, we assumed that the expression profile of a gene exhibiting a diurnal pattern approximated a cosine wave with a period of nearly 24 hr.

In addition, to approximate the marginal contribution of airport-related activities to local concentration patterns, we assumed that this was well represented by the 'distance to the airport terminal' effect estimate, recognizing that this covariate may proxy for multiple sources.

In order to account for migration patterns, we assumed that the relative proportion of rural and urban births changes over time by the same amount as the projected change in the relative proportion of the population in rural and urban areas (see additional file 2: mathematical notation and analysis for details).

As the literature strongly favors an autosomal-dominant inheritance of mandibular prognathism, and our pedigree analyses by inspection also suggested this pattern, we assumed an autosomal-dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance of 0.95 and phenocopy rate of 0.005 for the parametric analysis and an affected allele frequency of 0.0001 via the program MERLIN version 1.01[21].

On the basis of the missing data pattern, we assumed the missing values to be "missing at random" [ 26], and imputed these values using a multiple imputation technique (10 imputation sets) [ 27].

Due to position and projection pattern, we assume that the anterior and posterior 5HT-ir neurons are homologous between Remipedia, other Crustacea and Hexapoda.

We found similar qualitative patterns when we assumed reduced efficacy for fever screening devices, questionnaire reporting, or both tests.

In order to compare patterns over populations we assumed 1 cM = 1 Mb.

Since we are dealing with clave patterns, we can assume that the rhythmic structure of the percussive sound is constant, as the clave is usually repeated over the whole musical piece [15].

Next, for fitting the pattern mixture models, we assumed that any intermittent missing data before dropout or study completion was missing at random.

Although this number was higher than those reported in literature for older larvae (0 100 individuals m [ 31]), given the typical larval survivorship pattern [ 33], we assumed that the starting density was an ecologically realistic estimate for our study population.
