Please note that packet size is just a sample parameter for our algorithm; indeed, it can be any packet function that the network operator may choose to optimize for path setup.
We imputed missing values for a sample parameter for an individual capture event but did not impute completely missing capture events for an individual animal.
Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction was performed as for the Akirins, except with different sampling parameters for each gene family.
Some of the sample parameters are trivial, for example, "screen brightness," so no extra processing is needed for this parameter.
For sample parameters with P < 0.05 normal distribution were rejected and these parameters were excluded from the correlation calculations.
To incorporate this uncertainty into our estimates, we used a Latin hypercube sampling approach to sample parameter values for random variables in our simulation model (15 ).
Sample analytical parameters for a subset of spoil and coal refuse samples from TN that is used as examples in this paper are provided in Table 1.
Using snowball sample data, parameters for an exponential random graph model (ERGM) including social circuit dependence and four attributes (location, age, injecting frequency, gender) are estimated using a conditional estimation approach that respects the structure of snowball sample designs.
This was accomplished by substituting t n and the sampled DBERM parameters for the rat into Equation 3. Sampled recovery coefficients were also used to compute DBERM parameters for EXT2.
The computational time required for EVPPI is markedly more than for EVPI because the process essentially requires 2 iterations of probabilistic analyses, as standard probabilistic sensitivity analyses are undertaken for each sampled parameter value for the variable(s) under analysis.
