The model is estimated initially for the period 1994 2007, thereby excluding the 1990 1991 and 2007 2009 recessions.
For a practical inference of the phylogeny, the pairwise distances must be estimated initially.
First, latent class models with different numbers of classes (1,2,3, and 4) were estimated initially without any covariates.
The number of CFU-Fs was estimated per 100 MSCs initially plated, on the basis of the linear regression analysis obtained from the three different initial cell concentrations.
The unbiased diagnostic accuracy (proportion of correct classification) was estimated to 91.24 %, against 92.65 % initially computed on the original dataset.
The 24-year-old Ronaldo, branded as CR7, inked a six-year contract that is estimated to initially pay $15.5 million and increase 25% each season.
A series of proportional hazards models were estimated that initially assessed the crude effect of the set of three dummy variables reflecting the cross-classification of veteran status with over-reporting, and then serially decomposed that effect.
Applying the approach outlined above to data presented in Lynch and Conery (2000) for d S < 0.3 and including duplicates with d S < 0.01, the average numbers of silent nucleotide sites in the H. sapiens and M. musculus data sets are estimated to initially be 335 and 334, respectively.
Flamboyant, brash and opinionated, Palmer's personal wealth is estimated at A$5bn, initially made in property and later in nickel, coal and iron ore.
The initial number of susceptible individuals S0 could not be estimated and was therefore initially fixed to 4,000,000 (results reported in the main text).
