Jeffrey W. Short, a former federal scientist who led major studies after the Exxon Valdez disaster and now works for the environmental advocacy group Oceana, found the report plausible, over all.
Understanding the climate of past epochs is essential for a scientist who wants to predict whether a repository site will one day be covered by a new glacier, change from desert to tropical rain forest or undergo a variety of other transformations that seem plausible over tens of thousands of years.
The letter acknowledges that Hastings has long portrayed HBO as Netflix's big competitors, a statement that has become more plausible over time.
Given these different observations, it seemed plausible that over-expressing Abl in fra null embryos would improve commissure formation.
Nevertheless, it is plausible that over-expression of XIST and some escapee genes may be a common mechanism underlying development of psychiatric disorders between the rare patients with aneuploid X chromosomes and a subset of the general population of female psychiatric patients with a normal karyotype.
Base case analysis, using the intention-to-treat results, and sensitivity analysis will be conducted by varying key model parameters and critical assumptions over plausible ranges/distributions.
First, the posterior distribution of effects p (θ | Ψ, y ) = ∫ p (θ, Δ | Ψ, y ) d Δ, (7)from which can be obtained all estimates and intervals of haplotype effects, dominance deviations, and diplotype effects, averages over plausible diplotype configurations; this leads to effect estimates of θ, including interval estimates, that incorporate uncertainty in diplotype state.
Although there is no rule of thumb when validating a QoL instrument, a number of considerations should be taken into account - for example reliability, validity and responsiveness, representative samples of the targeted population, appropriate analysis techniques, and controls over plausible confounding factors [ 2].
Officials like Sawers use equally esoteric bureaucratic hurdles to maintain plausible deniability over their complicity in torture.
The advantage of model-based approaches is that they allow the incorporation of prior knowledge acting as a regularisation that favours plausible solutions over implausible ones.
The effect of age of model h3 is assumed to be monotone increasing, so that at high ages the estimated smooth tends to a constant guaranteeing a plausible pattern over the whole data range (Fig. 2 a).
