Teller 1992, Clark 1996 and Bedau 1997, for instance, all run together instances of "pattern discovery"—a subjective, observer-dependent activity with instances of intrinsic emergence a phenomenon that, as we have just seen, can be characterized in the context of CA as objective and statistically significant (see the relevant Section of the entry on Emergent properties).
While for forward engineering the benefits of using design patterns are clear, using reverse engineering technologies to discover instances of patterns in a software artifact (e.g., design or code) may help in several key areas, among which are program understanding, design-to-code traceability and quality assessment.
His basic strategy is to attempt to show that the derivations we regard as good or acceptable explanations are instances of patterns that taken together score better according to the criteria just described than the patterns instantiated by the derivations we regard as defective explanations.
For each pattern in each dynamic network we computed the mean functional enrichment score that measures the tendency of genes composing an instance of the pattern to have the same GO annotation (Methods, Figure 3).
The second group uses patterns with 'mismatch representation' which define a signal to be a consensus pattern and allow up to a certain number of mismatches to occur in each instance of the pattern.
She said his arrest is the latest instance of a pattern of harassment by law enforcement, and a series of false charges.
This function represents the log-likelihood ratio between two hypotheses: the patch centered on x corresponding to an instance of the pattern versus corresponding to the background.
To say that an instance of some pattern "reproduces" previous instances is to say that, if the previous instance had been different, the current instance would be correspondingly different.
The latter depends solely on the distance to the block center in relative terms; in absolute terms, it also depends on the scale factor a i of the instance of the pattern.
With it Eq. 2 also states the topological significance of a randomly chosen instance of the pattern.
Therefore, further studies are necessary and they require switching from the abstract view of a topological pattern to the level of their various representatives, the instances of a pattern.
