    • We show that the unconditional means derived in this paper are actually the positions of the central nodes in HW's trinomial tree.
  • 2Biology
    (of a taxonomic name) consisting of three terms where the first is the name of the genus, the second that of the species, and the third that of the subspecies or variety.

    Example sentencesExamples

    Example sentencesExamples
