Expression value and dysregulation of 5,000 most-expressed genes are both predictive of fitness.
Thus, Matthen and Ariew (2002, 56) write, "Unlike vernacular [individual] fitness, predictive [trait] fitness is not a cause of selection, or of evolution for that matter….
The analytical method of Schneider et al. (2011) represents a major advance in the development of a predictive theory estimating the fitness effects of new mutations, as it allows us to measure fitness effects of new mutations from population genomic data, and therefore in the organisms' natural environments.
The model possesses well fitness and predictive ability.
The R2 for modeling and testing sets of the final QSPR model are 0.977 and 0.979, respectively, thus indicating good fitness and predictive ability for Henry' law constants of PBDEs at different temperatures.
Three allometric models using D 2 H as the predictive variable offered good fitness of AGB allometric models at different scales (R 2 ranged from 0.759 to 0.999) (Tables 2, 3, 4).
Clustering fitness and predictive accuracy were evaluated on the validation sample.
However, in this study, neither self-reported LTPA nor the objectively measured physical fitness was predictive of later hospitalization due to HLDD.
It might be possible that the predictive roles of physical fitness on the development of overuse and traumatic musculoskeletal injuries are different.
Similarly, conflicting results have been reported for the predictive role of physical fitness [ 12, 13] hypermobility/hyperflexibility [ 11, 14, 15] and psychosocial factors [ 16, 17].
