Japan again showed low variance of the dependent variable and no significant Pearson r coefficients.

The better performance of BME may result from the lower variance usually associated with the mean.

One suggestion is that abundance measured as the numbers of individuals, may exhibit lower variances than those using biomass.

Using a counting system allows the player to attain a similar return at lower variance.

When is large, the learning algorithm will have high bias and low variance.

As a result, it has low variance.

For example, one might want to choose the portfolio return having the lowest variance for a given expected value.

Here "best" means giving the lowest variance of the estimate, as compared to other unbiased, linear estimates.

We do not believe that the lowest possible variance is the most desirable operating point.

These have a low variance, and the designer is normally responsible for specifying these components.
