Sentence examples for variance of reading from inspiring English sources

As we might have less prior expectations about the variance of reading skills, we might want to specify a low-informative prior distribution.

We will only estimate two parameters: the mean and variance of reading skills, for example, measured at entry to kindergarten for children in a state-funded prekindergarten program.

Some studies have suggested that the higher male prevalence could be explained by a referral bias (Vogel 1990) or by greater variance of reading skills in males (Hawke et al. 2009).

We assumed no prior information for the variance of reading skills scores and we used the default settings in Amos and Mplus, but in WinBUGS we used a low-informative gamma distribution.

With only one parameter, the Poisson distribution assumes the variance of reads is equal to its mean.

The impact of EMS mutagenesis on a genome wide level was established by assessing the variance of read numbers mapping to the individual genes.

The mean coverage in these data sets ranges between 2.65 and 7.24 (Table  1) and the variance of read depths is quite high (Table  1).

DESeq was used to normalise read counts for differences in sequencing depth between samples, to robustly estimate the variance of read counts between samples, and to variance-stabilise and log-transform the read count data [ 54].

The technical noise of RNA-seq follows a Poisson model (Marioni et al., 2008), and for any gene the variance of read counts will be greater than the mean by a factor proportional to the biological noise.

For each simulated data set, subsampled sites were generated to an expected coverage of 0.1x, 0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, or 4x per line, using the observed mean and variance of read lengths in our data set.

Note that because variance of reads is required to estimate the over-dispersion parameter, SNPs with total minor allele counts equal to zero in either cases or controls were excluded, leaving 420 SNPs to test.
