Sentence examples for prior affect from inspiring English sources

By using the 2005 10 BES panel study, we can estimate and control for the influence of respondent's prior affect toward MPs and their party using measures of these dispositions taken from pre-scandal waves, which are not affected by respondent exposure to the scandal.

Furthermore, wind speed for one week prior affected HFMD morbidity.

Branch length prior affects topology estimation [ 44, 45]; therefore, our finding that branch length prior impacts branch length estimation is not surprising.

In order to check whether the prior affects the profiles in the desired manner one can compute new profiles using MAP estimation (by incorporating the prior in the procedure).

To determine whether this prior affects branch length estimates, we repeated our previous analyses of the 100 4-taxon datasets simulated on equal branch length trees, specifying both an exponential prior with mean equal to 1 and a uniform prior (lower bound of 0, upper bound of 1).

And, on the standard Bayesian model, since changes in priors affect how evidence subsequently bears on relevant theories, these differences percolate up to different posterior credence assignments as the evidence comes in.

How the priors affect the outcome of the realizations in terms of average number of transformations and the posterior probability of a character history remains unclear.

Many more questions remain to be answered and especially how exactly will the priors affect the results in certain situations still needs to be explored: for example how will the priors affect the results with different degrees of homoplasy, rate heterogeneity of a morphological character, tree shape, sampling of taxa and characters.

Yang and Rannala [31] showed that the choice of priors affects posterior probabilities and that vague or uninformative priors can cause them to deviate from the fraction of correct inferences, but they did not investigate whether the deviation was structured to favor certain topologies.

There is however no consensus about which methods provide the most reliable results, and for the Bayesian methods the priors on node ages (as well as priors affecting e.g. topology) are highly debated.

This result suggests that a uniform prior can affect the posterior distribution if the bounds of the prior do not encompass the range of true branch lengths.
