For the demand distribution, we make the following assumption: the "uncertainty factor" ξ i for the demand in village i is the sum of a random baseline term that is common for the whole region, and a correction term that is specific for village i.
If a term in a baseline matched an intervention in the relevant reference standard, the baseline term received a true positive status.
A key factor in the CTEA's passage was a 1993 European Union (EU) directive instructing EU members to establish a baseline copyright term of life plus 70 years and to deny this longer term to the works of any non-EU country whose laws did not secure the same extended term.
Obviously, if the baseline is constant during the potential modulation, then Δ Iac,0 = 0 and the baseline term vanishes, as assumed a priori in previous works of ER and PM-ATR.
This setup is the most refined previously published version of our MDT system [23] and serves as a baseline in term of recognition accuracy such that we can measure the accuracy cost of the proposed speed improvements.
Respondent notes that the CTEA's life-plus-70-years baseline term is expected to produce an average copyright duration of 95 years, and that this term "resembles some other long-accepted durational practices in the law, such as 99-year leases of real property and bequests within the rule against perpetuities". Brief for Respondent 27, n. 18.
The CTEA's baseline term of life plus 70 years, petitioners concede, qualifies as a "limited Tim[e]" as applied to future copyrights.
JUSTICE BREYER suggests that the CTEA's baseline term extends beyond that typically permitted by the traditional rule against perpetuities.
Rather, the court noted, the CTEA "matches" the baseline term for "United States copyrights [with] the terms of copyrights granted by the European Union". Ibid.
Rather, the court emphasized, the CTEA matched the baseline term for United States copyrights with the European Union term in order to meet contemporary circumstances.
Both the baseline term and the village-specific correction term are assumed as uniformly distributed on certain intervals.
