Example sentences for: parametric

How can you use “parametric” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

One might try an a priori accounting of the sources of error and thereby provide a parametric model for it, but the number of potential error sources is large, so we instead choose a flexible error model and estimate local variance by again using local regression.
For instance, the parametric methods of Black and Doerge [ 13] depend on the assumption on the log-normal or gamma distribution of gene-expression levels, whereas the mixture model approach does not have such a distributional assumption and directly estimates distributions related to random errors.
That is, when test data fail to meet assumptions of normality or heterogeneity of variance, a nonparametric method (determined following the statistical flowchart for the method) should be used to calculate test results, but the PMSD may be calculated as described above (using parametric methods) to provide a measure of test variability.
Limited knowledge of the multiple population distributions comprising each group, and the relatively small sample sizes [ 15 ] , could undermine the power of most standard parametric statistical tests.
The t -test is parametric and is based on the assumption that the gene-expression levels have normal distributions.
