Sentence examples for The perceived length from inspiring English sources

The traffic flow is included in the model via the perceived length: the relevant length is equal to its actual length in an uncongested state and increases during periods of congestion, since drivers then experience longer travel times, which are converted into an equivalent increase in the perceived-segment length.

Fourth, the consumption of breastmilk was estimated based on the frequency of feeds and the perceived length of each feed, and taking into account the average composition of human milk.

As such, when more of the actual length is drawn up toward your leg, the perceived length becomes shorter.

Make sure you try on a skirt before you buy it, as the perceived length and the actually length can be very different.

To make the analyses parallel, we also used the logarithms in computing the correlations between perceived length and the nonspecifying M. The earlier computed correlation between perceived length and a specifying variable is equivalent to the correlation between perceived length and actual length.

As in the previous analyses, we compared the correlation of perceived length and actual length with the correlation of perceived length and the most highly correlated nonspecifying variable.

This indicates that for the young adults, the correlation of perceived length and actual length was higher than that for the elderly.

To test whether an individual relied on a specifying variable or a nonspecifying variable, we compared for each participant in each test phase the correlation of perceived length and actual length with the correlation of perceived length and the most highly correlated nonspecifying variable, using Williams' t-statistic (May & Hittner, 1997; Williams, 1959).

After all, a significant difference implies that one variable explains the variation in perceived length significantly better than the other variable.

For each participant and each limb, we computed the correlations of perceived length and actual length and the nonspecifying variables I 1 and M. In computing these correlations, we used the logarithms of these variables, because I 1 increases with the cube of length (Withagen & Michaels, 2005; Withagen & van Wermeskerken, 2009).

To determine whether it had, one would have to compare the correlation between perceived length and a specifying variable with the correlations between perceived length and the nonspecifying variables (see Withagen & Michaels, 2005).
