He called the calculation error "a minor variation" that "doesn't make a practical difference".
Prior to publishing his findings, Ambegaokar corresponded with Bardeen, who called his calculation elegant but incorrect.
Dr. Huillard's group used a statistical method called back calculation, which was developed to predict patterns for the spread of H.I.V. and AIDS.
And that's because style is the enemy of middle-of-the-road thinking — of what Fraser called "meanness, calculation, petty-mindedness, and the base fear of going out on a limb".
If the flow pattern is single-phase flow, single-phase heat-transfer calculation will be performed; if the flow pattern is bubble or dispersed-bubble flow, the corresponding hydraulic model and heat-transfer model will be called for calculation.
So these valuations are at the top end of what could be called reasonable calculations.
Theodore A. Postol, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a prominent antimissile critic, called the calculations behind the proposed radars "completely wrong and unrealistic".
Rather than just take the lease payments each month as the expense, the original proposal called for calculations that treated the transaction as a purchase and a loan.
The team used an approach, called "back-calculation," which focuses on a much smaller number of assumptions, including guesses about how many people BSE infected, when they were infected, and the length of incubation.
The second risk calculation used the fixed and random effects of the random intercept logistic regression model (called conditional risk calculation): P Y ij = 1 | X ij = 1 1 + exp − α ^ RE + ∑ m ∈ 1, …, 6 x im ⋅ β ^ RE, m + u 0 j This risk calculation included the same predictor effects as the marginal risk calculation, plus the random intercept u0j (i.e. the effect of anesthesiologist j).
