Participants from all states and territories' of Australia were not represented, with some states, such as Western Australia, Northern Territory and the ACT, not included, however the participants are statistically representative of distribution of osteopaths in Australia as the majority (77%) of registered osteopaths reside in Victoria and NSW [ 16].
A two-parameter Weibull distribution is confirmed to be representative of the distribution of physical (density, modulus) and mechanical (compressive, flexure, and tensile strength) values in five different nuclear-grades of graphite.
The geographic distribution of the cohort is representative of the distribution of the UK population, and the sample reflects national twin statistics on sex, zygosity, gestational age at birth, and birth weight (van Jaarsveld et al., 2010).
The age and sex distribution of the participants was broadly representative of the distribution of the general population in each region (Table 5), although individuals in the youngest age groups were slightly under-represented at each study site.
Medians were used because the RT distributions are highly skewed and medians are more representative of the distribution central tendencies (see Tomblin et al., 2007).
At the taxonomic level of genera, the average enzyme function abundance for a specific enzyme's activity might be biased towards the specific distribution of sequenced organisms, and not necessarily representative of the distribution of organisms present in the microbiome.
These families were distributed across diverse molecular functions, representative of the distribution of expressed genes found in white spruce.
This suggests that the distribution of the eligible genes may be generally representative of the distribution of all expressed genes across most of these high-level biological processes.
Moreover, for the two ELISA, the observed ELISA OD value distributions in high endemicity area, low endemicity area and control area seemed representative of the distribution of adult worms in fox populations.
Because the Peromyscus genome organization is known to be more similar to Rattus than Mus [ 16, 20], the distribution of ESTs across the rat genome is likely to be representative of the distribution in Peromyscus.
