At a Guardian debate last week about the NHS, Lamb described Stevens' promise of £22bn NHS efficiency gains as an "heroic assumption", meaning that the health service could end up needing more than the extra £8bn.
An important part of this prediction is an independence assumption, meaning that for the same index value of a row or column, the correct selection probabilities are the same.
In many constraint-based methods, a selected set of reactions is optimized to meet a specified objective (e.g., maximizing the yield of a valuable compound) under the steady state assumption, meaning that there is no net increase or decrease of metabolites within the studied system.
The first term on the right-hand side reflects the standard MI assumption, meaning that the largest value among f determines the probability to be annotated with the corresponding term.
This 'selection-based' approach explores the robustness of inference under local departures from the MAR assumption, meaning that the sensitivity to departure from the MAR assumption can be calculated from the observed data without estimating a full non-ignorable model [ 21].
Large values of the generalized score test indicate substantial deviation from the common exposure effect assumption, meaning that at least one of the cognitive tests differs significantly from the others in its association with lead and suggesting reconsideration of the individual cognitive tests included in the model.
In the case of ME normativity, the arguments may be more or less direct, depending on more or less substantial assumptions about meaning.
This model relaxes assumption 8, meaning that many locations across the cortical sheet do not participate in the patch system.
The academics report that fans believe "institutional racism" – where people do not consciously discriminate against minorities, but fail to challenge old assumptions and stereotypes, meaning a pattern of operations continues – is relevant in football management.
"This is difficult, so I had to make some conservative assumptions," he said, meaning that the official NASA downlink estimate of $17.34 per megabyte was multiplied by almost 10.
