Take the (as yet unknown) best-working DAG in Figure 1, the prior DAG in Figure 2 as the preferred initial working DAG, and the DAGs in Figures 1, 3, and 4 as prior alternative DAGs.
Although expert consensus guidelines do not advocate antipsychotic polypharmacy, some [ 4] suggest antipsychotic polypharmacy as the last resort after having exhausted prior monotherapy alternatives.
The ability to sense intracellular or extracellular nutrient sources enables the coordination of cellular metabolism and the preferential consumption of glucose prior to alternative carbon sources, referred to as carbon catabolite repression (CCR) (Brown et al. 2014).
The largest difference was between 4+ and 1- with 2775 differentially spliced candidate genes, of which 46.9% (1302) had alternative exons with prior evidence of alternative splicing (Additional file 1, Figure 2A).
A broad development of alternatives prior to selecting the final strategy is likely to grow cognitive diversity in the decision making team (Olson et al. 2007).
This work is intended to facilitate material and manufacturing assessments through the consideration of the variety of alternatives prior to capital investment for wide-scale production.
This work is intended to facilitate material and process selection through the consideration of the variety of design and manufacturing alternatives prior to capital investment for wide-scale production.
Furthermore, in our own study, several non-expert and some expert examinees did comment that Extended-matching questions made it more difficult to go through the list of alternatives prior to answering the question.
Are we to evaluate the prior probabilities of alternative theories of gravitation, or of alternative quantum theories, by exploring only their syntactic structures, with absolutely no regard for their semantic content with no regard for what they say about the world?
The Bayesian hypothesis test approach not only allows for direct evaluation of the probability of the null hypothesis (and of course the alternative hypothesis as well), but the use of the nonlocal alternative prior densities also allows a fair weight of evidence to be accumulated towards both the null and alternative hypotheses, thus facilitating a fair evaluation of both hypotheses [ 16].
