Positive feedback and nonlinearity, which are ingredients in a wide range of animal interactions, enable animal groups to generate behaviors that are more than the sum of their parts, Sumpter says. Inter modulation distortion is an output signal generated from the nonlinearity of an amplifier when several signals of closing frequencies are input. To assess the linearity of the main study and measurement error models, we compared linear models with more flexible restricted cubic spline models that allow for nonlinearity in the relationship between dust endotoxin level and outcome (Durrleman and Simon 1989). |
