The investigators, though, have not yet confirmed those findings with rigorous studies.
This study reviews six family-oriented, school-based programs that have produced promising findings in rigorous evaluations.
We then describe the findings from rigorous evaluations of employment interventions that have been tested over the past several decades and some ongoing innovative demonstration projects that are currently in the field.
Our findings warrant rigorous study of the development of mental representations across the lifespan in order to derive an objective understanding of the aging mind.
At the same time, our findings urge rigorous and regular monitoring of preferences, and consideration of the diversity in views, with attention to older people and caregivers.
In consideration of these findings, a rigorous selection of potential candidates for off-pump technique appears to be mandatory, particularly in the setting of high-risk patients.
(An algorithm more effective in practice, though still running in deterministic exponential time in the worst case, is proposed in De Giacomo and Massacci [2000].) Historically, logics of programs stem from the work in the late 60's of computer scientists interested in assigning meaning to programming languages and finding a rigorous standard for proofs about the programs.
A fundamental linchpin for obtaining rigorous findings in quantitative research involves the selection of survey instruments.
Kathleen McGraw, who teaches political science at Ohio State University, said that while field experiments provided more rigorous findings that could be used to improve democracy, the ethics of a particular experiment must be considered on a case-by-case basis.
"It hasn't gotten to the level where they can state findings in a rigorous scientific way," said Constantine Gatsonis, director of the Center for Statistical Sciences at Brown University and co-chairman of the National Academy of Sciences committee.
