The parameters of substantive interest are the person parameters and their covariance across four occasions.
This bistable transition approach is substantially different from the bifurcation hypothesis in the sense that one is driven predominately by stochastic processes, with no substantive changes in underlying parameters over the time course of seizure onset, whilst the other corresponds to a predominately deterministic route to seizures through underlying parameter variation.
It would thus be possible to develop a substantive theoretical model whose parameters could be generalized but still take into account the particular traits of individuals and their health condition.
The m potential functions ϕ i defined on unknown parameters θ reflect substantive knowledge on reaction kinetics for a given model such that regions of interest in the parameter space are prescribed prior to a posterior analysis.
To illustrate what these effects imply in substantive terms – based on these parameter estimates – predicted probabilities of being in each of the union status categories are calculated for key variables, with values of all other variables set at the mean.
These models did not show substantive changes in the values of the parameter estimates, so we present results for the full sample.
The modest actions proposed by MIT's climate plan fit nicely into these conversation parameters, which have so far failed to generate substantive action.
For example, if the model parameters are treated as tuning parameters, they are of little substantive interest and can be directly manipulated to improve performance.
The key idea lies in the development of a Dirichlet process (DP) prior distribution, called Bayesian experts, which reflects substantive knowledge on reaction mechanisms inherent in given models and experimentally observable kinetic evidences to the subsequent parameter search.
There are substantive issues.
