Disagreement, communication, inference, change of mind would all thus seem initially less puzzling for the meaning holist if he or she happens to be an anti-individualist as well.
Table 1 Inferences from monitoring data and associates errors Inference No change Change Actual state No change correct False positive (Type 1 error, α) Change False negative (Type 2 error, β) correct.
Inferences change as we get more data, while the true values of the underlying parameters remain fixed, but unknown.
We will perform a range of analyses that show how the inferences change depending on the assumptions made about the missing outcome data.
We measured in situ 10Be, 26Al and 36Cl on glacial deposits as old as 1.1 Myr in the southernmost part of Patagonia and on northern Tierra del Fuego to understand boulder and moraine and, by inference, landscape changes.
Because parsimony is biased toward inference of changes from common to rare states, genes whose base composition is skewed toward GC can show apparent declines of GC in the absence of actual changes in base composition [19], [38], [39], [40], [41].
It is not clear whether bone turnover markers can be used to make inference regarding changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated healthy elderly men.
Inference on changes during pregnancy as suggested by the differences between women of different gestational age of pregnancy in this study should, therefore, be made with caution.
The inference of changes in the effective size of the Canarian deme, using two likelihood-based Bayesian approaches, suggested that the establishment of this insular population took place some 2500 years ago, matching the date of human colonization.
Because of this, the worries about communication, language learning, disagreement, inference and change of mind that plague the meaning holist (see section 3.2) seem considerably less pressing (indeed, not pressing at all) for the merely metasemantic holist that denies that the function from use to meaning is one-to-one.
