In the case of continuous quantities, the most precise unit of time is the time it takes for the fixed stars (the fastest things in the universe) to move the smallest perceptible distance.
What was called for, in response, was a unified treatment of discrete and continuous quantities.
Under the general diffusion approximation, frequency p n,t is treated as continuous quantities x, and this leads to the distribution of the frequency for the allele A being the probability density.
In effect, Leibniz reasoned with continuous quantities as if they were discrete.
The philosophical background for his rejection of algebra seems to be, at least partially, Aristotelian in some of its basic suppositions: geometrical quantities are continuous quantities which therefore cannot be treated with numbers that are, in the inverse, discrete quantities.
His experiments in mathematics on continuous quantities were as a result of his incomparable drawings in nature.
In this article, we present a dimensionless continuous quantity for objective assessment of TR, regardless of tumour type, clinical measures other than tumour response, and the mechanism of the effect of therapy on tumour: cytotoxic and/or cytostatic.
The logarithm of the ratio of treated tumour volume (tumour marker level) to the volume (tumour marker level) of corresponding non-treated tumour is a general continuous quantity for tumour response to both cytostatic and cytotoxic agents.
Although mappability can be defined as a continuous quantity (the reciprocal of k-mer frequencies, for example, as in [ 23]), it is generally not very useful to know the degree to which a region is unmappable.
