In addition to the flexibility of tool selection, there is flexibility in the sense that the analysis tools do not require a fixed database format.
The flexibility of tool development is intrinsic feature of GBrowse that allows customizable plug-in architecture as a community-based open source project.
As part of this assessment, the implementation ability and the flexibility of the tools are of great concern.
Some numerical examples are presented to show the flexibility of this tool to solve different kinds of problems.
The use of the CE in this research demonstrates the flexibility of the tool for combining with interdisciplinary knowledge, as well as the usefulness of information provided by nonmarket valuation techniques for informing policy design.
However, for most academic environments with local expertise, novel data collection techniques or novel data analysis, it is essential to have all the flexibility of open-source tools and open-source workflow descriptions.
The commercial railroad simulation tools offer an easier path toward development of different scenarios, in addition to providing a variety of outputs in a user-friendly way, but the core decision models and processes are not easily customizable or reviewable, which may reduce the flexibility of applying these tools.
Furthermore, the flexibility of these modeling tools permits an accurate recovery of a large variety of curves with a single estimator, thus, avoiding the loss of efficiency and inaccurate statistical inference induced when the analyst uses several alternative parametric transformations of the covariate or time axis (Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990; Quantin et al, 1999; Mahmud et al, 2006).
The generality and flexibility of tools such as the ISA framework makes it feasible to deal with the dual nature of data in terms of distinguishing between data and metadata.
Thanks to the flexibility of this numerical tool, realistic synthetic data can be generated at different pixel resolutions.
To further investigate these latitudinal trends, as well as to demonstrate the flexibility of the Climate Wizard tool, we analyzed major global latitudinal zones separately.
