What's the difference between binomial and binominous?

Binomial


Definition:

  • (n.) An expression consisting of two terms connected by the sign plus (+) or minus (-); as, a + b, or 7 - 3.
  • (a.) Consisting of two terms; pertaining to binomials; as, a binomial root.
  • (a.) Having two names; -- used of the system by which every animal and plant receives two names, the one indicating the genus, the other the species, to which it belongs.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The distributions of the probabilities of seeing N channels open in multichannel patch records were not not always well fitted by the binomial distribution: it is suggested that adjacent channels could have different probabilities of being open.
  • (2) The frequencies of the various anaphase patterns of bright and dim centromere regions were binomially distributed, indicating random distribution of chromatids with respect to the age of their DNA templates.
  • (3) Correlation of responses of offspring from the same litter is taken into account through the use of the beta-binomial distribution.
  • (4) The number of morphologically identified excitatory neuromuscular synapses exceeded the 'release sites' estimated from the binomial model (n) by a wide margin.
  • (5) EPSP-amplitude histograms of CA3-CA1 cell pairs (N = 10) and minimal electrical stimulation (N = 33) could be adequately described either by Poisson or binomial statistics, or by both, and exhibited similar estimates of unit quantal size (q) and mean quantal content (m).
  • (6) The Bayesian solution to the Behrens-Fisher problem of normal distributions with differing variances was an acceptable compromise after the data had been transformed by the inverse hyperbolic sine method applicable to negative binomials.
  • (7) Genetic correlations on the binomial scale seriously underestimated the correlations on the normal scale.
  • (8) The sensitivity of one flow cytometric examination was superior (binomial test, P less than or equal to 0.05) to that of one or two cytologic examinations for TA tumors and to that of one, two, or three cytologic examinations for TIS, T1, and all tumor categories combined.
  • (9) By means of test for Fitness of Binomial Distribution, it was found that HCC had an evident tendency of familial aggregation (P less than 0.01).
  • (10) Mammalian toxicity of the bis(guanylhydrazones) is effectively modeled by a regression equation containing binomial terms in Rm values, used as a measure of agent lipophilic-hydrophilic balance, and the logarithms of the IC50 values.
  • (11) Various illustrations are given and situations where the "cooperative" binomial scheme should be valuable are discussed.
  • (12) In most two-channel patches, the experimentally observed probabilities that zero, one, or two channels are open differ from the binomial distribution, demonstrating that the two channels are nonidentical or nonindependent or both.
  • (13) Exact numerical evaluation shows that this correction is not as important for this case as for the ratio of binomial parameters (Gart and Nam, 1988, Biometrics 44, 323-338).
  • (14) The analysis is based on a extended version of the negative binomial species frequency model.
  • (15) The binomial statistical parameters, releasable store (n) and probability of release (p), were examined under various stimulating conditions to determine the basis for depression and facilitation.
  • (16) In the present study, "compound" binomial distributions with variable probabilities were convolved with Gaussian distributions in computer experiments to simulate amplitude histograms of intracellular excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs).
  • (17) Evidence is given of the binomial distribution of the proportions of the three isoenzymes in the developing heart.
  • (18) The negative binomial probability generating function was used to show that six or more micronuclei per 1000 polychromatic cells from one treated animal would be significant for our laboratory, methodology and strain of mouse, provided that concurrent negative control data conformed with historic values.
  • (19) If we cease to aim for the universal pigeonholing of viruses into genera and species, binomial latinized names lose their chief justification.
  • (20) A binomial bioenergetical balance growth equation is considered.

Binominous


Definition:

  • (a.) Binominal.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In order to determine the connection between immunoglobulin-spikes and an approaching rejection episode the general one-sided binominal test was used.
  • (2) The studies of the perfusate influence on the characteristics of quantum secretion of transmitter in the preparation of frog cutaneopectoral muscle have shown that the perfusate increased the quantum content of end-plate potentials (EPP) due to increasing binominal parameter and decreasing frequency of miniature EPP.
  • (3) Pairwise comparisons of the fragments in the DNA fingerprints showed that 15 fragments on average longer than 4.4 kilobases with a mean fragment sharing probability of 0.19 appeared in a typical DNA fingerprint and the distribution of matches of the fragments was found to be binominal.
  • (4) The apparent success of earlier Linnean nomenclature (with its implications of discrete species) could easily have been misinterpreted as evidence of punctuation and stasis, and it is probable that detection of many other gradualistic patterns has been hindered by ready application of binominal taxonomy to fossils.
  • (5) Family aggregation of this outbreak of epidemic bronchiolitis was found by binominal distribution method (chi 2 = 9.51 P less than 0.05).
  • (6) The binominal distribution of ELISA antibody levels among paired sera suggested an equilibrium between continued infection and antibody decreases after infection.
