An ellipsoid of revolution is specified by two parameters: a semimajor axis (equatorial radius for Earth) and a semiminor axis (polar radius), or the flattening.
The precision is specified by two parameters: (i) the confidence level and (ii) the relative error.
The tanh map is specified by two parameters that permit to control the symmetry of the map (even or odd) and its shape.
The process is specified by two parameters b and h, where Pr r p ( 2 ) ( t ) = L a r p ( 2 ) ( t − 1 ) = 0 = b, Pr r p ( 2 ) ( t ) = 0 r p ( 2 ) ( t − 1 ) = L a = h.
The system is completely specified by two parameters (because p11 + p12 + p22 = 1), and perfectly represents ancestry and interclass heterozygosity because H I = p12, and S = p 11 + 1 2 p 12 (Table 1) [ 32].
Each distribution was fit to a Gaussian mixture model, a linear combination of several Gaussian components, each specified by three parameters; μn (mean of the nth component), σn (standard deviation of the nth component), and πn (relative weight of the nth component).
The model is therefore specified by eight parameters, and we obtained those parameters by fitting responses to 41 stimuli: all combinations of eight diameters and five contrasts, and a blank stimulus.
The accuracy of both the speed and the trajectory of motion can be ensured without the time function of the parameter specified by two terms of a Taylor expansion, such as in a real-time parametric curve interpolator.
In summary, any junction candidate sequence can be fully specified by six junction description parameters: two reference positions, two orientations with respect to the reference sequence, the number of overlap bases, and the identities of any inserted bases that are in the read and not in the reference.
The HMM is specified by five sets of parameters, λ = (S, O, π, T, E), where S is the set of states, O is the set of observation, π is the initial state, T is the set of state transition probabilities, and E is the set of emission probabilities.
Our scenario was specified by six unknown demographic parameters: the stable effective population size (N S ) and the duration of the initial bottleneck (D B ), both assumed to be the same in all Islands and potentially different effective number of founders in Norfolk, Chatham and South and North Island of New Zealand (N F 1, N F 2, N F 3 and N F 4, respectively).
