Current approaches to assess Akt activation rely on intensity-based methods, which are limited by the subjectivity of manual scoring and poor specificity.
Instead of relying on intensity of light, it uses the Haar-like features.
The laser scanner lacks this resolution and relies on intensity data.
VBM relies on intensity based-segmentation of brain into distinct tissue classes (namely, grey matter, white matter and CSF) creating tissue class maps for independent, rapid, and exploratory analysis of every volume-element of brain.
Most methods of recovering the absolute ancient field intensity (paleointensity) rely on stepwise replacing the NRM acquired by an igneous rock on cooling with a laboratory analogue, i.e., a thermoremanence (TRM) [ Coe, 1967; Thellier and Thellier, 1959].
Our PCA method, based on actual (absolute) metabolite concentrations, contrasts with an alternative approach currently used in metabolomic MRS. The latter relies on intensities of spectral points or, more commonly, of "bins" or "buckets" (sums of a number of adjacent spectral points).
The SNP calls are less likely to be affected by technical error as they rely on relative intensity within a probe set, rather than a consecutive group of increased or decreased intensity values relative to a reference, which makes CNV analysis more susceptible to hybridization variation between chips and erroneous calls.
In fact, meteorologists in the western Pacific exclusively rely on satellite intensity estimates and don't use Hurricane Hunter aircraft to measure storms directly.
Many microarrays do not rely on raw intensity values to make base calls, and in some instances a complex model is fitted to the data to accurately call SNPs [ 13, 14].
