However, with the largest amount of error variance, both themeanestimateand the variation over simulations behave poorly.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Even when the method based on the low 3.4% error rate (resulting in the highest estimates) is discarded, we are still left with ameanestimateof 3,242 points.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For each condition in which we were interested, we applied the model observer to five independently generated mosaics, and took themeanestimateof per formance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Finally, using formula (9), the posteriormeanestimateof the variance for the asymmetric distribution under model 2 was 4.75 (with a posterior standard deviation of 0.04).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The posteriormeanestimateof the variance of the effects associated with the markers was 0.026 (0.014) and the posterior mean estimate of the residual variance was 4.59 (0.48).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Moreover, the posteriormeanestimateof the variance pertaining to the effects associated with the markers was 0.411 (0.144), and the posterior mean estimate of residual variance was 45.64 (4.63).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since mean estimated values are close to those simulated, the precision of the methods can be compared from their estimation variances.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Table 1 shows that both methods give mean estimates close to the simulated values over the range of parameter values simulated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With the most intense selection, the mean estimated position was outside the correct interval, except in the case of samples selected for high within-family variance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Furthermore, the standard errors of the mean estimates are decreased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The posterior mean estimates for the residual and genetic correlation agreed very well with the simulated value of 0.0.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is likely that mean estimates of pure short-term memory capacity size, and degree of individual differences in that construct, are uniformly found across cultures.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Few performed sensitivity analyses or presented confidence intervals around mean estimates of cost or effect.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The mean estimates for the tax and permit systems represent 8.3 per cent and 4.6 per cent of mean monthly household income, respectively.
From theCambridge English Corpus
On the other hand, the opposite effect is observed with prior (c), for which the posterior mean estimates of additive variances decreased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Mean estimates for all parameters do not differ significantly from the simulated values.
