The annual mean field has a higher standard error, as expected, as it encompasses the entire seasonal cycle.
Standard errors were, as expected, slightly higher with five replicates.
SE: Standard Errors as percentage.
A relevant advantage over standard methods is that all data are analyzed simultaneously as opposed to more utilized methods like ANOVA – based techniques or bioconductor's package limma [ 34]; as a consequence, reduced standard errors are expected.
For cases where our method did work, the mean ω estimates were reasonably good, although the standard errors were large, as expected (supplementary fig. S3, Supplementary Material online).
Therefore, provided the true model is nested within the analysis model, all methods provide unbiased parameter estimation and adequate control of type 1 error, as expected from standard statistical theory.
The SIF remained high across a wide range of values, with greatest score precision (maximum information/lowest standard error) being observed, as expected, towards mid range values (−1.6 to 2.4), which is desirable for a general population metric.
The error bars and "n" represent the standard deviation (standard error as indicated) and the number of independent experiments, respectively.
The NPDE, which followed a standard normal distribution as expected, suggested no bias or trends in the residual error models (Supplementary Material 6; Supplementary Figure S1E and F).
The weighting was applied to (i) estimates of the linear prediction, (ii) the standard error of the predicted expected value and (iii) the standard error of the point prediction for a single observation, commonly referred to as the standard error of the future or forecast value.
As expected, theOLS standard errors were found to be generally lower than the standard errors ofHC2 and HC3 for all variables except for somevariables in HC2.
