Linear scaling corrections

No systematic study of the effect of different solvation models has been performed. A few reports have compared specific cases such as the study of cationic and anionic alanines, which shows a significant improvement in the chemical shift prediction using polarized continuum method (PCM) or better stiU a hybrid solvation approach (Section 1.4.3). However, the linear scaling correction discussed below can often account for the systematic solvent effect and so sometimes one can get away without any solvent computation at all.

Figure 3. Contour plots of the bias corrected MEM densities in the (110) plane of metallic beryllium (a) uniform prior, (b) non-uniform prior. The plots are on a linear scale with 0.05 el A1 intervals. Truncation at 1.0e/A3. Maximum values in e/A3 are given at the Be position and in the bipyramidal space of the hep structure.

The key to all this is that the scale of measurement of most (if not all) variables is arbitrary. Although we are most familiar with a linear scale of measurement, there is nothing which makes this the correct scale on its own, as opposed to a logarithmic scale [familiar logarithmic measurements are that of pH values, or earthquake intensity (Richter scale)]. Transforming a set of data (converting X to X ) is really as simple as changing a scale of measurement. 

Probability plot is presented here to verify the correctness of data. In probability plots the vertieal seale on the graph resembles the vertical scale found on normal probability distribution. The horizontal axis is a linear scale. The line forms an estimate of the eumulative distribution funetion (CDF) for the population from which data are drawn. An example for PTl series is shown in Figure 6.

F 0 YOU realize what can be done in the way of accurate measuring with an ordinafy, bi grade steel scale The hundredth of aa inch divisions were not put on the scale as an ornament or to impress you with the quality of the tool. They are tor use, and with a little patience and practice you can split the hundredths and make linear measurements correctly within a few thousandths of an inch. 

However, a practical inconvenience of the unsheared MQMAS NMR spectrum is that its projection onto is not isotropic. This is clearly shown in Fig. 6b where the F projection does not resolve the two Al NMR scolecite resonances. Hence, it is convenient to perform a shearing transformation on the MQMAS spectrum, which consists of the application of a linear phase correction in the mixed (ti,V2) domain. This procedure makes the A axis parallel to F2 and thus theprojection onto the newly defined Sjso axis (F so) the sheared spectrum is isotropic and highly resolved, as shown in Fig. 6c, while the F2 projection provides the corresponding pQ-fUtered MAS spectrum (which is essentially the conventional (IQ) MAS NMR spectrum). The ppm scale in the F ... 

For Affymetrix chips, after log transformation and background correction, there are a variety of normalization methods. The MAS 5 algorithm linearly scales expression intensities so that the trimmed mean expression values are consistent across an experiment. The model-based expression index of Li and Wong (2001a and b), released as dChip, models expression of probe pair J of gene n in sample i as...
