BlackRock praised the team's research, its modeling in bull and bear market assumptions and its "strong understanding of macroeconomic drivers".
Therefore, it is plausible to avoid costly and extensive numerical modeling (which also would bear many assumptions, simplifications and uncertainties).
Statistics, at least, don't seem to bear these assumptions out.
In France, I'm used to the same questions borne of assumptions, and I don't begrudge the Parisians for asking them of me; in fact, I tend to do the same thing with them.
Measurements seemed to bear out this assumption; compared with other animals of the same size, the birds used twice as much energy to cover the same distance.
The intensified level of conflict is also spurring new research that is challenging some long-held assumptions about bears, notably the idea that bear population is the key variable.
Depending on their own experience of siblings and their own parents, a newborn's parents will bring all kinds of hidden assumptions to bear if told "it's a boy" rather than "it's a girl", when it pops out of the womb.
These assumptions typically bear either on rates of molecular evolution (molecular clock hypothesis, local clocks models) or on both rates and times (penalized likelihood, Bayesian methods).
None of these assumptions are borne out with the Virginia data.
If radical multiple realizability really obtained among species in the actual world, contemporary neuroscientific experimental techniques built upon this assumption should bear little fruit.
