For instance they
make different assumptions about thermal comfort levels, and this profoundly effects the assumptions about space heating demand.
«We
used different assumptions on the relationships between land plants and found this did not impact the age of the earliest land plants,» the authors said.
This appeal requires an examination of the effect of electronic record management on the laws of evidence, which were formulated
on different assumptions about how records are kept.
While each bank uses
different assumptions for its online quotes, these numbers present a reasonable indicator of where you can expect to start a conversation with the loan officers at each bank.
With
somewhat different assumptions about how many parents switch from public to private and exactly who they are, the details of the analysis would be somewhat different.
The author critiques the assumptions underlying the dominant market - place economic theory and
proposes different assumptions which take into account the fact that people live in communities.
And that, he warns, is tricky, involving
many different assumptions (about population sizes on different continents, for instance) in the poorly documented period before recorded history.
They start from such
radically different assumptions, and they perceive the problems so differently, that within the mainline churches there has been little or no progress toward resolving the issue.
The physics of clouds and pollution remained too complex to work out exactly, and modeling teams that made
different assumptions got somewhat different results.
Again, this is an area where mistakes can lie hidden until it is too late, especially
where different assumptions have been used for the purposes of preparing the budget.
After the policy is issued, the agent will issue a new illustration based on the actual policy issued, since it may
contain different assumptions than the illustration used in the application phase.
Don't the high -, intermediate - and low - end scenarios present a range of model prediction, each based on a grouping
of different assumptions & factors?
The good news is that most of the discrepancies arise
from different assumptions and policy scenarios, rather than outright disagreements about the science.
While each bank uses
different assumptions for its online quotes, these numbers present a reasonable indicator of where you can expect to start a conversation with the loan officers at each bank.
EIA's Annual Energy Outlook provides modeled projections of domestic energy markets through 2050, and it includes cases with
different assumptions regarding macroeconomic growth, world oil prices, technological progress, and energy policies.
My goal is to give them [my students] a sense of contingency: to show them one can have
very different assumptions from the ones that govern their own lives; that those assumptions result in reasoning that leads in alternative directions; and that those directions lead to very different outcomes.
Through constructing a number of such analogs under
different assumptions as to the structure of inhomogeneities we can begin to ascertain which data products may be closer to the real world when applied to the real world databank observations.
Attempts to compare evangelical liturgical practices to those of more high church traditions are often doomed from the start because of the
fundamentally different assumptions that undergird both.
Because Whitehead developed a theory of relatiity based on
quite different assumptions about nature that those of Einstein, we have involved a few physicists in the immensely complex task of discovering just how that theory fares in relation to the last half century of physics.
One might well expect to
find different assumptions regarding the markets, investment classes, and how the latter will respond to the former over the course of decades — and, in fact, these assumptions lie at the core of the target - date fund glide path and design.
Additionally, when compared
across different assumptions regarding discount rates as well as equilibrium climate sensitivity, these probability distributions clearly illustrate how the SCC estimates are scattered all over the map with the overall distributions changing markedly after tweaking of the model's most fundamental assumptions.
Overall, the «laymen» and «scientist» crowd have too many
different assumptions even before going into the conversation, and the media may just be reporting accurately what the scientists find.
