This model provided a good fit to the data, although the equivalent two-factor common pathway model was more parsimonious.
It appears that the brain is not a parsimonious instrument, but rather one that assigns specific operations to particular subsystems.
We believe, however, that the framework that we propose does provide a parsimonious explanation for many apparently unrelated breast cancer behaviors.
This is something that rational choice theorists often neglect, in their desire to attain rigorous and, hence, parsimonious explanation.
We suggest that studying a more parsimonious case definition - impairing chronic fatigue not due to a known cause - would represent a way forward.
The numbers above each node represent the percentage of the 24 equally parsimonious trees supporting each clade.
In conclusion, epidemiology is the most parsimonious explanation of the order that may be observed in ectoparasite assemblages.
Epidemiological processes appear to be the most parsimonious explanation for the diversity, abundance and distribution of ectoparasite species infecting fish.
