WORLD: Sorry once again, but science does not know everything or the quantum part would be figured out in finite terms rather than probabilities that's sound like we spent millions of dollars to get answers like «but teacher I was almost right, let me try some more»... and pre-big bang theories would be figured out and not quite as fantastical and humorous as they sound to average person.

As Real's chances piled up or, rather, as Real's missed changes piled up, I was more of the feeling not that the Barcelona net was eventually going to give way to statistical probability, but rather that one of Barcelona's world class forwards only needed a single moment to undo Real's dominancAs Real's chances piled up or, rather, as Real's missed changes piled up, I was more of the feeling not that the Barcelona net was eventually going to give way to statistical probability, but rather that one of Barcelona's world class forwards only needed a single moment to undo Real's dominancas Real's missed changes piled up, I was more of the feeling not that the Barcelona net was eventually going to give way to statistical probability, but rather that one of Barcelona's world class forwards only needed a single moment to undo Real's dominance.

The implication of the new subatomic physics was that certainty was replaced by probability, or the notion of tendencies rather than absolutes: «we can never predict an atomic event with certainty; we can only predict the likelihood of its happening»... This directly contradicts the mechanistic model we explored above, and it implies that a subject such as normal birth needs to be looked at as a whole rather than its parts...»

The criteria of immediate threat; probability of success (rather unproven in this case, as it was in Kosovo at the time of the intervention), and legitimacy might make interventions which meet these tests relatively rare.

So what the Republican candidate here needs, as Santorum and Gingrich have demonstrated, are big donors willing to make investments based on ideology rather than actual probability of winning.

«Rather than trying to assess the probability of an extreme event occurring, a group of researchers suggest viewing the event as a given and assessing to which degree changes in the thermodynamic state (which we know has been influenced by climate change) altered the severity of the impact of the event,» notes Dorit Hammerling, section leader for statistics and data science at the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences, National Center for Atmospheric Research.

That finding gives us confidence that the probability for developing resistance to Epimerox is rather low, thereby enabling treatment of infections caused by multi-drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA.

Odds, on the other hand, are kind of (pardon the pun) odd because they tell you essentially the same thing as probabilities but in a rather funny and somewhat convoluted way.

The probability of occurrence of a 700cc cranial capacity in a modern person must be rather tiny, given that mean capacity for the species as a whole is about 1450cc.

Because of this, the carbon budget is expressed as the probability of staying below a certain temperature, rather than a guarantee that's what will happen.

We recommend buying these supplements in combination rather than individually to get a maximum synergy effect: Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the more effective fertility nutrients you provide for your body, the better your overall fertility and thus probability to successfully father a child.

You have to look at a concept as inspiration, rather than getting caught up in details that may be fantasy designer creations — not engineering probabilities.

The camel on top is considered in the lead, and that mechanic combined with the randomness of order and movement makes the entire game of probability very simple to visualise, but rather interesting as a game of chance.

BryanS, I would qualify the effort as extremely difficult of having limited probability of success rather than foolish.

There's no real progress in our evaluation of climate sensitivity, rather the demonstration that real progress will be very difficut to reach (worse even, the range should enlarge as we include more and more parameters for evaluation of f, so more and more uncertainty because each new parameter will have its own distribution of probability).

Additionally, if several climate properties are estimated simultaneously that are not independent, such as S and ocean heat uptake, then combining evidence requires combining joint probabilities rather than multiplying marginal posterior PDFs [Hegerl 2006].

Thus the alerts should not be interpreted as an analysis of total tree cover loss area but rather as an indication of an area that has a high probability of having experienced tree cover loss or disturbance over time.

Tallbloke: It sounds as though you've confused the idea of «probability» with the idea of «probability density» for the IPCC isn't saying that a sensitivity of 18.5 C is as probable as a sensitivity of 1 C but rather that the two sensitivities have equal probability densities.

But as Monckton points out, catering to manage a rare event has a cost and the probability is so low it will be cheaper and more progressive for society in general to cope rather than «prevent», as if «prevention» is possible in the first place.

Similiarly, if possibility theory admits that evidence can make an event «more likely», then the requirement to be able to rank scenario classes as more or less likely than each other leads to something that looks a lot like probability in the end, and the debates about whether a risk justifies action should depend on how one evaluates the evidence, and one's aversion to risk, rather than the terminology used to quantify risk (or not).

«Lindzen picks one value at the outer edge of the probability distribution function and builds his entire argument on that (rather improbable) value as if it's highly certain» Okay, I see where you're coming from.

The situation as I see it is opposite: Mainstream science acknowledges there is a large uncertainty in the net aerosol forcing, whereas Lindzen picks onevalue at the outer edge of the probability distribution function and builds his entire argument on that (rather improbable) value as if it's highly certain: His argument is implicitly built on high confidence / certainty that aerosol forcing is very low.

In essence rather than just saying we need to shift the null (which is rubbish, as others have noted the null can be anything) he is now saying any statistical inference should be performed on the basis that we have prior information on the probability that humans are causing some of the warming, and that information should be included in any experiments (presumably now regardless of the null being tested).

Rather, statements need to be couched as follows: the probability of the number being greater than 50 % is XXX, or of lying between this range is YYY etc..

As has been confirmed by the Court of Appeal (see R v Mental Health Review Tribunal (Northern Region)[2005] ECA Civ 1605) the flexibility of the civil standard lies not in «any adjustment to the degree of probability required for an allegation to be proved...» but rather in the fact that more serious allegations will require more cogent evidence.

The system can also handle hypothetical reasoning (eg, multiple parallel possibilities) as well as assigning probabilities to outcomes rather than rigid certainty to evaluate more complex decisions (fuzzy logic).

Changes in rates of child diagnoses from baseline to 3 months as a function of mother's remission and subsequently mother's level of response were analyzed using a repeated measures analysis with binary response data, using generalized estimating equation (GEE) methods.27 A linear probability model with an identity link function (rather than a logit - link function) was used to model interactions on the additive scale28 and to model a dose - response function using rates (rather than odds) as the outcome measure because we considered risk differences to be a more relevant measure than odds ratios in our study.
