In addition, we identified 26 tentative cases for which the NISE status, although likely, could not be confirmed (see Additional file 2, Table S2).
While all three putative transfers involving eukaryotes show strong support from both analyses and most likely represent true cases of LGT, two of the suggested intra-domain eubacterial transfers and both the prokaryotic inter-domain transfers show only weak support from the maximum likelihood distance analysis and therefore should be viewed as more tentative cases (Figs. 1 & 2).
And a couple, 'Why Bother?' and 'The Reader in Exile', state a tentative case for the purpose of the novel itself in a mass culture: a manifesto which the author subsequently, triumphantly justified.
The results from the two analytic methods are generally similar in magnitude and direction, but we have kept interpretation and discussion of the results more tentative in cases where statistical significance differed.
But most here, both those opposed and supportive, think that there is a kind of inexorable evolution taking place, a willful, if in some cases tentative, hike toward normalization.
Hence, current data would strongly suggest that the presence of NII in FTLD is indicative of PGRN mutation, though this conclusion must remain tentative until all cases with these pathological structures, both within this present study and in those of other research groups, have been subjected to genetic analysis and the presence or absence of mutation defined.
Overall, we suggest that analysis based on ancestral reconstructions should be taken as tentative, especially in case of low statistical confidence and limited taxonomic sampling.
In general, researchers investigating DIF should account for the number of significance tests conducted, unless they regard the search for DIF as hypothesis-generating and report their findings as tentative, in which case multiple testing is arguably less of an issue [ 62].
This has spurred activities in computational mass spectrometry, aimed at proposing tentative identifications for the cases where the mass spectrum is not (yet) in a mass spectral library.
We investigated residual distributions for tentative fault models in cases that the F2 segment had different dip angles, 40° (lower dip angle), 90° (higher dip angle), and 110° (the segment dips to the opposite side).
But at other times their reaction was more tentative, and in some cases frustration was evident.
