The utterances were selected randomly but constrained by the file size requirement so that the average duration of the utterances after VAD was about 3 s.
We additionally simulate 100 trials with varying numbers of external inputs (randomly drawn constrained by the reference and the layer-independent parameterization, see Materials and Methods), further confirming the previous findings.
In [4], channel estimation error is emulated with a randomly generated error constrained by the value of its average power, and the affected FER is plotted.
Start sites for randomly selected regions were constrained to start sites of probes represented on the microarrays to control for bias introduced by probe design/selection on the microarrays.
Since the original list of observed blocks contains non-overlapping regions, we constrained the randomly generated block list to be non-overlapping as well (this was enforced by resampling until non-overlapping lists were created).
In the "control" blocks the same physical deviants and standards as in the "oddball" blocks (deviant-counterparts and standard-counterparts, respectively), occurred quasi-randomly, while deviants were constrained by the same spacing rule mentioned above.
To implement NLS for non-cooperative and constrained NLS for cooperative networks (Coop-NLS), we use the MATLAB routine lsqnonlin[48] initialized randomly and fmincon[48] initialized and constrained with outer approximation, respectively.
In addition, to evaluate the consistency of the data set we calculated 8 times the AI for 150 randomly selected expressed genes from the constrained data set.
Sampling designs differed slightly between the two years: in 2013, sites were located completely randomly, whilst in 2014 sampling locations were constrained to be within a few km of roads.
Those patterns and symbols of randomness have randomly variated configurations and boundaries, and their generating algorithms are constrained by the shape features, cartographic standards and many other conditions.
