Each of us can determine our own T - Rex Score
using simple assumptions that best match our circumstances.

A
simpler assumption is that here, as in the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus
used a more elaborate story than usual to convey a more elaborate idea.
But those studies separated out the effects of natural variability
using relatively
simple statistical techniques, and many researchers questioned the
assumptions that went into them.
The
simple assumption that individuals with highest competitive ability are not able to make maximal
use of the acquired resources suffices to explain the diversity in competitiveness observed in nature.
If astronomers made the
assumption that velocities observed for Milky Way stars or nebulae were due primarily to the rotation of the Milky Way and that the Milky Way had a
simple rotation model, then they could
use this model to determine two possible distances for each star or nebula.
Using that
assumption, the
simple calculation described above provides us with a true break - even point.
By
using a
simple no growth
assumption, which is one possible scenario for stocks and bonds over any given 5 - year period, we can eliminate a variable and make a rough comparison of the ratio of ballast versus stocks for any given ballast depletion plan.
If we calculate the after - tax impact
using simple tax
assumptions (33 % for ordinary income and 15 % for long - term capital gains), we can illustrate the benefit of a qualifying disposition (all else being equal).
While the different storylines and
assumptions can be a little confusing, the ingredients for making such a forecast can be fairly
simple, and I have coded them up into an interactive web site which can be
used to explore the world of possibilities.
I would argue that if we
use a
simple radiative model with a variety of
assumptions, no upper atmosphere cooling but only warming will occur with increased CO2 (see # 333), based on the radiative transfer equations and the Second Law of thermodynamics, but when other complexities are introduced, this might change.
It should be noted
simple linear regression
using ordinary least squares is not really the best method for assessing these data as it depends on
assumptions which are violated by global temperature measurements.
Simple climate models are perfect in answering many questions, but they require too many unphysical
assumptions when they are
used to answer other questions, and they can not tell anything about some further ones.
Dhogaza and myself both explained why it's appropriate to
use the period after 1975: That's when the GHG forcing is dominant and the expected trend in temperature would be roughly linear (and linearity was an
assumption in the
simplest form of the ADF tests, as I came to understand).
I went through the process of drafting a EULA
using the Up - goer Five text editor (http://splasho.com/upgoer5/) because as I thought about the question, I found myself challenging my
assumptions about what
simple drafting really is.
In Kleinwort Benson Ltd v Sandwell BC, reported with the conjoined case of Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington LBC at [1994] 4 All ER 890, Hobhouse J reasoned that (seemingly on balance) he would follow the «weak» «expression of an opinion» in re Diplock at p 514 that the phrase in s 2 (1)(a) of the 1939 Act, now s 5 of the 1980 Act, «actions founded on
simple contract» «must be taken to cover actions for money had and received... [t] he
assumption must, we think, be made though the words
used can not be regarded as felicitous», the alternative being no time - bar at all.
Folk psychology offered
simple, direct explanations of our ability to predict other people's behavior
using everyday reasoning and basic
assumptions about human nature.
