Most importantly, it captures a broad span of data types, from complete, high quality data sets through to data sets with missing data and/or values with a relatively high spread of probability distribution.
We have also used one – called SMOL – in which the natural logarithm of the smoothing function was used, as this gives a more even spread of probability scores [28].
The Fano factor allows one to compare the spread of probability distributions relative to a Poissonian with the same mean.
The standard deviation is one way of summarizing the spread of a probability distribution; it relates directly to the degree of uncertainty associated with predicting the value of a random variable.
The entropy S reflects the spread of a probability distribution regardless of shape complexity.
Uncertainty relations can be considered as statements about the spreads of the probability distributions of the several physical quantities arising from the same state.
For SIs and NPCIs, a pattern of decreasing spread among coverage probabilities for QTL in all marker densities is visible across sub-simulations with the QTL not on the left marker (10 50% distance).
The mortality rate was about 2.5% and 40m-50m died.While neither the severity nor the timing of the next pandemic can be predicted, the spread of bird flu increases the probability it will happen.
The approach is to derive expressions for the cultural fitness (mean number of converts to the treatment resulting directly from observation of a given demonstrator),
Each location, upon receiving the visit messages, computes the probability of spread of contagion for each interactor at that location.
The variation of degree across the entire network, i.e., the degree distribution, is fundamental to determining the probability for spread of disease through a network of contacts.
