account for those mothers who originally booked to have a home delivery but ended up delivering in hospital.

about sea level rise because it is «the only proper one that aims to fully
account for uncertainty using statistical methods,» noted Parnell, principal investigator of the study conducted collaboratively with researchers at Tufts University, Rutgers University and Nanyang Technological University.

uncertainty about the 1994 - 1998 Rwandan refugees» future in exile is compounded by the recent resolution of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to launch military attacks on refugees based in the DRC.35 No

Based on the above conclusions, they consider that the future integrity of the property is highly at risk, taking into
account the possible prospect of offshore oil exploitation, the
uncertainty about the impact of invasive species, the already existing threats
for which progress on the corrective measures is unclear and the globally increasing effects of climate change to coral reef systems, including the Belize Barrier Reef system.
Every specialist in the area will understand this, and every scientist who looks at abstract AND figures will as well (common practice), and the remaining text is very explicit
about methods and the
accounted for uncertainties.
During recent years (1993 — 2003),
for which the observing system is much better, thermal expansion and melting of land ice each
account for about half of the observed sea level rise, although there is some
uncertainty in the estimates.
Unfortunately, that perspective fails to
account for the mechanism by which motivated reasoning influences how the public interpret what climate scientists do and don't say and how motivated reasoning influences what the public think
about the prevalence of shared view among climate scientists w / r / t the related
uncertainties.
With respect to the reported benefit - cost rations, this paper argues that they are a bit low because, first, they do not reflect the substantial concerns
about equity and
uncertainty; and second, because a substantial part of the benefits (after the year 2100) is not
accounted for.
[20] This problem becomes particularly severe
for forecasts of the weather
about 10 days in advance, [21] particularly if model
uncertainty is not
accounted for in the forecast.
Although the NAO is the dominant pattern of atmospheric circulation variability,
accounting for about half of the total winter SLP variance on both interannual and multi-decadal time scales, other large - scale structures of internal circulation variability will also undoubtedly contribute to
uncertainty in future climate trends.
The first is
uncertainty about the assigned magnitudes —
for example, if solar influence must be scaled up to
account for forcing not apparent in the total irradiance data, the solar role would increase.
If the lack of continuation of the previous warming can't be
accounted for, if there is no predictive capability within what we already know
about climate, it makes no sense to be so conclusive
about AGW, and therefore our policy decisions should reflect that
uncertainty.
But Mann argues that the paper adds to growing concerns
about the «
uncertainty» in climate change science being more bad than good
for humanity: «We should be taking into
account worst - case scenarios when we attempt to gauge the risks posed by climate change.»

about the fit, and
accounts for serial correlation in the residuals as quantified by the lag - 1 autocorrelation.
