Two paleontologists, Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould, proposed punctuated equilibrium as a biological explanation of patterns of the fossil record, not to accommodate Ellis's alleged time crunch.
The LPA model provides an accurate explanation of patterns.
The detection, characterization, and explanation of patterns represent major components of the scientific endeavor.
Our goal is to find which of these various diversity measures provides the best possible explanation of patterns of community productivity, moving from simple, single-variable models to metrics that represent full community trait differences.
Empirical analysis of the experimental results suggests that AnnSim can provide a deeper understanding of the relatedness of entities, and in some cases, it can also provide an explanation of patterns.
Coexistence equilibria largely achieve the neutrality-defining mission, to eliminate all of the forces competing for a place in explanations of pattern.
There are hence no fully satisfactory explanations of patterns of consumption, and, in particular, how people orient themselves toward goods and services in China.
The process of qualitative data analysis is characterized by identification and classification of data, with progression to abstractions and explanations of patterns of phenomenon within the cultural group.
Whereas inductive models are useful for positing explanations of patterns observed in large amounts of data and when precise prediction is required, abductive models are useful for exploring mechanistic hypotheses and when uncertainty is pervasive [ 21],[ 27].
In the second stage, data were retrieved and reanalyzed for recurrent themes through an iterative process whereby commonalities in explanations of patterns of use were identified along with exceptions and then tested against the data.
