Hellemans, J., Mortier, G., De Paepe, A., Speleman, F. & Vandesompele, J. qBase relative quantification framework and software for management and automated analysis of real-time quantitative PCR data.
Based on the known lake evolution during the Holocene, a relative chronological framework is presented.
Here the notion of predictive utility, in a relative entropy framework, is extended to small random samples by the definition of a sample utility, a measure of the unlikeliness that a random sample was produced by a given prediction strategy.
Within Beds I and II of the Olduvai Basin a Sequence Stratigraphic analysis has achieved a relative time framework in which time-rock units, "lake-parasequences," each generated by a major advance and withdrawal of the lake system, are recognizable for average periods of about 4000 years duration.
In summary, net survival can be estimated in a relative survival framework under certain assumptions.
That is, in this situation the event of interest is only identifiable via a relative survival framework.
The Ederer II method [ 18] is estimated in a relative survival framework, i.e. the ratio of all-cause survival, S t), to expected survival, S∗(t).
Such information is rarely available in routine, population-based data and net survival is then commonly estimated within the relative survival framework.
The relative ranking framework should be seen as a system for comparing estuaries relative to one another, highlighting estuaries that have attributes and potential adaptation plans which may be adopted by lower ranked estuaries to reduce vulnerability.
In fact we argue that the Pohar-Perme method is estimated in a relative survival framework and can only be interpreted as average net survival under two key assumptions that apply to all methods.
To leverage our extensive sampling of NWM (Gastrophryninae + Otophryninae) and to provide a relative temporal framework for patterns recovered during our analyses, we generated a time tree in BEAST 1.7.2.
