Sentences with phrase «on likelihood ratio»

A third criterion was based on the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT).

To avoid over - or underestimating the importance of each biometric latent factor, we restricted latent genetic (A), shared (C) and nonshared (E) environmental factors to 0 only when their factor loadings were estimated to be close to zero and not based on likelihood ratio tests as is common practice in the behavior genetics literature.

Variables with a P value of less than 0.25 in the initial univariate χ2 tests were initially entered into the regression equation and were removed in a stepwise fashion if they had a P value of less than 0.1 on likelihood ratio tests.

For categorical variables, P values were based on the likelihood ratio test.

Not exact matches

Individual growth curve models were developed for multilevel analysis and specifically designed for exploring longitudinal data on individual changes over time.23 Using this approach, we applied the MIXED procedure in SAS (SAS Institute) to account for the random effects of repeated measurements.24 To specify the correct model for our individual growth curves, we compared a series of MIXED models by evaluating the difference in deviance between nested models.23 Both fixed quadratic and cubic MIXED models fit our data well, but we selected the fixed quadratic MIXED model because the addition of a cubic time term was not statistically significant based on a log - likelihood ratio test.

A higher or lower likelihood ratio can increase or diminish the likelihood of culpability, but the probability is also dependent on other cues and evidence, forensic and not.

A likelihood ratio test for species membership based on DNA sequence data.

A likelihood ratio test for species membership based on DNA sequence data Matz, M. V. and R. Nielsen.

Interactions between race and caffeine intake (≥ 200 compared with < 200 mg / d) on total and free E2 and LH concentrations were significant (likelihood ratio test: P = 0.01, P = 0.02, and P = 0.01, respectively).

For example, we might want to predict the likelihood that a company's stock will outperform over the next few years based on a fixed number of financial ratios (like the stock's return - on - equity, earnings yield, and debt - to - equity).

We used three measures to capture the pertinent information: return on equity (ROE) to reflect growth and profitability; the debt coverage ratio to represent the likelihood of default; and the accruals - to - average - total - assets measure defined by Sloan (1996) to quantify possible accounting red flags.12 To arrive at company - specific quality measures, we used the simple arithmetic average of each stock's percentile rank for these three variables.

Tell me, too, how someone who sees things as you do — all built into Bayesianism; no need to address whether the problem is different priors or different sources of information relevant to truth - seeking likelihood ratios vs. a form of biased perception that opportunisitcally bends whatever evidence is presented to fit a preconception; no need apparently either for empirical study on any of this — can straighten out someone who says the key to dispelling public conflict over climate change is just to disseminate study findings on scientific consensus.

Although mussels were collected from 4 sites on Tatoosh in 2009, site was not a significant explanatory variable for δ13C measurements (Likelihood ratio Test, χ12 = 2.8, p = 0.10) We also found no effect of shell age on δ13C when we compared the δ13C in 2007 and 2008 for large (129.3 — 158.0 mm length) versus small (38.8 — 52.6 mm, n = 9) mussels collected in 2009 (ANOVA, p = 0.547, Fig 1b).

In short: statistics about the increasing ratio of lawyers over 70 in active practice, on the one hand, and the general incidence of Alzheimer's and other dementias, on the other, lead David to point out an increasing likelihood that some lawyers may be practicing in less than ideal conditions for their clients, beyond a reasonable «brain age».

The following criteria were used to decide on the number of classes to retain: Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and sample - size adjusted BIC (adj BIC).54 Also, we used entropy to assess the quality of classification, as well as the Vuong - Lo - Mendell - Rubin (VLMR) adjusted likelihood ratio test for the hypothesis that a model with one less class performs just as well.
