The current estimated cost of £42.6bn includes a generous £14.2bn for contingencies on top of already much checked estimates for the special tunnelling to make the scheme environmentally and politically acceptable, especially in the most controversial part of the route – from London to Birmingham.
Oppenheimer's calculations, which Bush had George Kistiakowsky check, estimated that the critical mass of a sphere of uranium-235 was in the range of 2.5 to 5 kilograms, with a destructive power of around 2,000 tons of TNT.
When modelling a biochemical system, the fact that model parameters cannot be estimated exactly stimulates the definition of tests for checking unreliable estimates and design better experiments.
The factored (IChemE) method outlined in the Institution of Chemical Engineers 'blue booklet' is of immediate use and provides a basis for checking detailed estimates.
Confounding was assessed by re-entering variables into the final models and checking if estimates for diarrhoea changed.
We used genoprob v2.0 Thallman et al. 2001a, b) for data-quality checking and estimated phased haplotypes based on the pedigree and estimated recombination rates, which were set proportional to the physical distances among the loci.
The dealer can check your estimates and the yard will have a stock of ready-cut fence parts in a variety of woods.
B2B transactions total $11.5 trillion in the U.S., and 86% of it is handled with paper checks, Visa estimates.
We will not check the estimates of the exact solution in our examples because our aim is to show the existence of approximate solutions within the analytical method.
BIC is widely used, and many statisticians suggest posterior predictive checking to estimate the predictive ability of the model (Raftery 1993; Lee 2007; Kaplan and Depaoli 2012).
