Sentence examples for using a likelihood method from inspiring English sources

Using gene family assignments from the Ensembl project [26] (version 41 – October 2006; www.ensembl.org) we assign probabilities to the observed changes in gene family size along each mammalian lineage using a likelihood method that makes efficient use of genomic data in a phylogenetic context [25].

The cut-off 3.5 ng/mL was selected using a likelihood method as previously described [ 29].

Genotypes for each offspring and all possible sires were analyzed with the program Cervus [ 21], which assigns paternity using a likelihood method.
