Crout et al. (2009) proposed a conceptually simple method for undertaking an evaluation of model structure by reducing a model through the replacement of variable quantities with constants.
Main duct obstruction leads to a framework of obstructive chronic pancreatitis characterized by ductal dilatation and fibrous replacement of variable degree (mild or severe) of parenchyma upstream [ 10, 11].
However at this stage mechanistic interpretation of each of the 82 potential variables role in the model was required to ensure that the replacement of specific variables was meaningful.
Replacement of categorical variables with continuous ones also produced similar trends, statistical significance, and directions of association as the categorical analyses (Additional file 1: Table S3).
The replacement of some variables would break the mass balance of the model, for example allowing it to create nitrogen or dry matter to translocate to the grain irrespective of the status of the crop.
In addition to the replacement probabilities for individual variables shown in Table 3 joint probabilities were calculated to indicate whether there were cases where the replacement of one variable was dependent on whether another variable was, or was not replaced.
The new avenue in the inquiries, according to regulators, involves so-called churning, or the unnecessary replacement, of old variable annuities with new ones.
Replacement of genetically variable individuals by copies of a single genotype can reasonably be expected to reduce overall haplotype variation.
In B. hermsii, antigenic variation occurs by replacement of one variable gene with another downstream from a telomeric promoter.
