The project of which existence consists is not the result of an arbitrary choice (as Sartre had previously maintained); it is, instead, that of a conditioning by the objective possibilities that Sartre identifies (as does Marx) with "the material conditions of existence".
But Einstein showed that it was precisely the same kind of difficulty, and that determinations of simultaneity involve reference to an arbitrary choice of reference-frame, just as much as determinations of velocity.
Analytical identification is computationally more demanding, but preferable as it does not depend on an arbitrary choice of parameter values.
And this assumption is arbitrary; that is, it amounts to an arbitrary choice of the coordinate system in which we define the equation of inertial motion.
We did not set a threshold for low or inadequate levels of health literacy, as this would be an arbitrary choice.
Using a log scale for the independent variable, as here, is essentially an arbitrary choice; although Ct is expected to be linear in log10(C), there is no ab initio reason to expect p positive) to be determined by log10(C) rather than C, and the logarithmic spacing of concentrations is driven by practical choice, not necessity.
I have reconstructed it as split, but this is an arbitrary choice, and the ancestral state is equally likely to have been un-split.
The threshold of 0.2 mSv is an arbitrary choice, but as it is nearly 50% of the average x-ray dose (see below), it is likely a conservative estimate, as is the assumption that the Hp(10)x-rays when <0.2 mSv results in an effective dose of the same magnitude.
The treshold of 10 mmHg to consider Pa-E′CO2 as clinically acceptable or not was an arbitrary choice.
Since the OO modeling paradigm advocates that each process be a subordinate of some object, an arbitrary choice must be made as to which object is the owner of the process being modeled.
