Sentence examples for threshold the likelihood from inspiring English sources

It is also conceivable that above an as yet undetermined surface area threshold the likelihood of being windthrown becomes more or less equal.

Thus to test for the existence of a threshold, the likelihood of the a b model including the threshold τ and different infection probabilities a, b below and above the threshold is compared to the likelihood of a model without a threshold but a constant infection probability a' for all assay values.

If X j is a binary variable indicating whether target j is present in a sample, and Y i is an indicator representing whether the intensity of probe i is above the detection threshold, the likelihood of X j given the observed data Y = { Y i} is where provided that, at most, one target genome is present in the sample.

The decision whether the region is salient or not is determined by thresholding the likelihood ratio.

Similarly, as rodent populations increase above certain thresholds, the likelihood of plague epizootics also may increase (Davis et al. 2004).

Such a result suggests that the active and inactive states of expression are each autocatalytic: that expression above a specific threshold increases the likelihood that the locus will remain active, while expression below that threshold decreases the likelihood of activity.

In addition, this deficit in perception appears to be compensated for by a more liberal detection threshold, enhancing the likelihood of perception at the cost of simultaneously enhancing the rate of hallucinatory perception.

Whereas mice repopulated with p53-deficient bone marrow cells showed a marked reduction of the threshold for leukemogenicity, mice repopulated with wild-type bone marrow cells did not exhibit leukemia at a dose of 33.3 mg/kg body wt and showed a curve with a high probability for the linear regression model with a positive dose intercept, predicting a threshold by the likelihood ratio test.

A stringent selection threshold improves the likelihood of isolating true high producers over background variation, but also more strongly biases for cells perturbed above steady state at the time of selection.

The minimal threshold of the likelihood was set to 0.6 for both PRT4 and MLPA.

This simplistic approach implies that all test results above the threshold increase the likelihood that the condition or disease is present to exactly the same degree.
