Statistical probability

For a given potential energy function U r ), the corresponding generalized statistical probability distribution which is generated by the Monte Carlo algorithm is proportional to... 

In frequentist statistics, probability is instead a long-run relative occurrence of some event out of an infinite number of repeated trials, where the event is a possible outcome of the trial. A hypothesis or parameter that expresses a state of nature cannot have a probability in frequentist statistics, because after an infinite number of experiments there can be no uncertainty in the parameter left. A hypothesis or parameter value is either...

If the exposure level (E) exceeds tliis tlireshold (i.e., E/RfD exceeds unity), tliere may be concern for potential noncancer effects. As a rule, tlie greater tlie value of E/RfD above unity, tlie greater tlie level of concern. However, one should not interpret ratios of E/RfD as statistical probabilities a ratio of 0.001 does not mean tliat tliere is a one in one tliousand cliance of the effect occurring. Furtlier, it is important to empliasize tliat tlie level of concern does not increase linearly as tlie RfD is approached or exceeded because RfDs do not have equal accuracy or precision and are not based on tlie same severity of toxic effects. Thus, tlie slopes of the dose-response curv e in excess of the RfD can range widely depending on tlie substance. 

Realizing that the last four reactions of the ion-atom interchange mechanism listed each have only one-half the statistical probability of occurring as do the first four and assuming no isotope effect on the rate constants, we can write the following set of rate equations ... 

In order to assess the analysis given in Figures 1 and 2 in terms of the components 1 and 2, the theoretically predicted abundances of the two components were calculated at 30 K, using the ZPVE values from Table 3. Including the statistical factors, the ratio obtained from the ZPVE s is 0.31 0.69, implying that substitution at the H2 position is slightly favoured compared to the purely statistical probability, as expected from the difference in bond strengths bewtween Cj—H and C2—H2. In a comparision with the... 

At the second stage of chlorine substitution in the tetramers there is a greater statistical probability for the incoming nucleophile to attack the phosphorus adjacent to =P(C1)(NHR), viz. P4 or P8, rather than the remote phosphorus, viz. P6 (Fig. 9). However, this statistical effect is countered by the electron releasing effect of the substituent already present on P2, which tends to deactivate P2 as well as P4 and P8 towards further nucleophilic substitution. It is observed that reactive amines such as dimethylamine (94) or ethylamine (95) react with N4P4C18 and... 

The relative amount of strand cleavage at each site of AQ-DNA(l) is indicated by the length of the solid vertical arrow shown in Fig. 4. As is often observed, the 5 -G of the GG steps react more often than do the 3 -G. In the case of AQ-DNA(l), the relative reactivity is ca. 1 3, but this ratio depends upon the specific base pair sequence surrounding a GG step, which may be an indication of radical cation delocalization to bases adjacent to the GG sequence. It is worth pointing out again that these reactions are carried out under single-hit conditions where the relative strand cleavage efficiency seen at various locations of AQ-DNA(l) reflect the statistical probability that the radical cation will be trapped by H20 at that site.

Molecular orientation increases the crystallization rate for two reasons the statistical probability of chain segments becoming suitably aligned to form a nucleus is increased and the entropic difference between the molten and crystalline states is reduced, which increases the driving force towards crystallization.

The obtained peak list together with other data (biological species, possible posttransla-tional modifications of amino acids, etc.) is then submitted to a software tool (usually publicly available) and searched against a certain protein database, which leads to protein identification. The majority of available software tools also offer information on the statistical probability of protein identification. 

In brief, the statistical probability for the occurrence of a transition can be calculated and lies between zero and one. It can be shown that weak... 

Prequency and size of broth fills must be clearly defined. The size of fill is usually based upon the statistical probability of detecting an acceptably low incidence of microbial contamination. Tables have been published to this effect [4], but the BPS operator has to decide both size and frequency of broth fills based upon their speeifie facility, routine product batch sizes, and operation. Por high speed BPS maehines used for filling routine produet batehes in excess of 100,000 units, broth fill batehes larger than traditional aseptic filling lines are both feasible and appropriate. 

A second extrapolation step for toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic variability was recommended if interspecies comparisons involve, with a certain statistical probability, the occurrence of an above-average sensitivity in humans as compared with the test animal species.
