For example, distance classes can be used in the case of song or calls, based on knowledge of their range of action in a particular habitat, k nearest neighbors can be used in order to account for differences in densities across the habitat, or territory boundaries can be used for a straightforward delineation of neighbors in case of territorial species.
In conclusion, the strengths and attractiveness of the proposed linear fit method are its easy mathematical implementation, the use of a few parameters, their straightforward physical interpretation, and their evident clinical meaning.
We recommend a more widespread use of these straightforward approaches (and related techniques), in order to promote a greater awareness of the limitations of many population analyses.
The creation of pseudo items for each level of the variables presenting DIF was used as a straightforward means of accounting for DIF.
There are several possible explanations for our findings contrasting these: First, the use of simple, straightforward items, rather than a long list and the investigation of subscales, might increase the likelihood of detecting associations.
I believe that this is a very useful, potentially important paper that addresses a key problem in evolutionary biology, namely, the selective forces that affect the rate of HGT, using a straightforward and transparent mathematical modeling approach.
This allows us to provide a comparative view of partition development, using a straightforward ANCOVA workflow, which for the first time permits the integration of partition growth and partition evolution patterns.
We also expect that the straightforward use of a list of printed questions of potential relevance for cancer patients and their companions at an early stage of illness, by modifying the process of information exchange, will increase their participation and satisfaction with the consultation, with potential benefits for treatment adherence and consequently treatment efficacy.
