In particular, migrants will have a higher probability of settlement in the host country if they have begun the process of obtaining legal and residential status, or they have invested money in a home, or they have a predominant sense of belonging to the host country, or they speak more frequently the host country language and agree with the host country lifestyle.
Our simulations assume a fixed probability of settlement, p setttle, to be equal across all sires, in this case p setttle = 0.285 (the global mean), and simulate 1000 data sets where the number of offspring for each sire in each of three bins is drawn from a negative binomial distribution with μ = 4.63 and size = μ 2 / (12.63 − μ ), again these are the empirically observed values across sires.
With the probability of a settlement growing, and the threat of hundreds of millions of dollars in damages fading, the owners may have felt confident enough to release that money.
The approach enables estimates to be made of the probability of excessive settlement.
The probability of successful settlement and social integration into the wild population may be increased through pre-release exposure to key biotic and abiotic environmental cues, spatial and temporal release strategies, and selection of appropriate release candidates.
Because HA phage have higher settlement rates than the LA phage, it is possible that the observed low emigration rates for the HA phages is simply due to their higher probabilities of re-settlement during the emigration process.
Founder Ted Frank has said that "the whole reason I started this is because there is a high probability of district courts rubber-stamping settlements.
For example, the settlement reduces the probability of larger awards for people who previously served time in prison, where strip-searches are routine.
Although Homeric Troy was described as a wealthy and populous city, by this time some scholars had come to accept the probability of a lesser Troy a relatively minor settlement, perhaps a princely seat.
This paper presents a framework for assessing the probability of exceeding a specified liquefaction-induced settlement at a given site in a given exposure time.
