We also explore alternative empirical definitions of what constitutes a busy director and find that commonly used proxies for busyness perform well relative to more complex alternatives.
While both of these methods have some disadvantages relative to more complex methods, Cockings and coworkers argue that their ease of use and accessibility to a nonstatistical audience outweigh potential disadvantages.
In order to clarify their relative behavior in more complex cases, specific simulation studies are needed.
For the next rung of the ladder, MD simulations were employed, alongside NMR techniques, as a means to identify the 3D shapes, and relative populations, of more complex systems.
The experimental measurement of the three-phase relative permeability is much more complex and time consuming process than the two-phase relative permeability.
As the number of rows in the array increases the relative transmission spectrum becomes more complex, with increasingly well-defined bands of high and low attenuation.
Cultivated hillslopes and urban environments no longer have natural gradients, and surface channel networks have a greater drainage density, resulting in connectivity patterns that are more complex relative to natural connectivity patterns on undisturbed hillslopes (Hallema and Moussa, 2014).
Accordingly, the most frequently represented best-fit AIC models shifted toward more complex relative rate parameterizations.
The trends with respect to relative rotations are considerably more complex (Fig. 4; right column).
Now, however, new information emerging from the clinical and scientific literature, combined with evolving technologies, has made it possible for increasing numbers of rare conditions to be detected simultaneously from single screening tests, making it reasonable to attempt more complex relative comparisons when deciding on conditions that should be added to a screening panel.
