As ever, the spectre of social class hovers just above, or below, these generalised assumptions.
In other words, generalised assumptions and inferences derived via experimental and observational study designs need to reflect the social, political, and economic dimensions to which exposure(s) are influenced (Wing 1994).
ED Oh, I completely agree that making generalised gender assumptions about how women are and how men are, as if they're some giant single-cell globule, is pretty unhelpful.
A number of generalised working assumptions can be made which may prompt and guide cautious due diligence.
Legitimacy is a generalised perception or assumption that certain actions are appropriate and even desirable in a given social system (Suchman 1995).
Spatially dependent data violate the independence assumption required for generalised linear models.
These may, for example, be bound restricting the solution space of a Linear Program (LP) or elasticity of substitution assumptions in Computable Generalised Equilibrium (CGE) models [29, 30].
We used a multivariate generalised linear model with a Poisson assumption, log linear link function, and robust standard errors estimation to calculate adjusted relative risks.
The concept of generalised reciprocity is based on the assumption that when people provide resources, good turns will be repaid at some unspecified time in the future, perhaps even by an stranger [ 31].
Furthermore, we tested the assumption of proportionality by using generalised linear regression of the scaled Schoenfeld residuals on functions of time to test for a non-zero slope.
