The phrase "marginal choices" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when you want to refer to possible actions or decisions that have a small impact or little significance. For example: "The impact of the policy change was minor, resulting in only marginal choices for affected companies."
"It is not to make marginal choices about issues upon which reasonable, humane and informed people may readily disagree".
Yet the real interest of politics is in its uncertainty, in how marginal choices produce outcomes that must appear entertainingly arbitrary to the gods who know what would have happened if the coin had fallen the other way, or if a human impulse had chosen a slightly different expression.
From this point of view, aluminum would appear to be a marginal choice for body panels.
A quasi-symmetry model, which includes factors to adjust for the differences between total numbers in the marginal rows (choice) and marginal columns (destination), was fitted in each year and gave non-significant results (year 1: χ=47.0, df=36, P=0.10; year 3: χ=47.2, df=36, P=0.10; year 5: χ=27.0, df=36, P=0.86.
For example, bivariate beta generated distributions with classical beta marginals are natural choices to be used as prior distributions for the parameters of correlated binomial random variables (with any sign for the correlation) in Bayesian analysis (see Apostolakis and Moieni 1987; Arnold and Ng 2011).
We consider strategies for modelling binary repeated responses and focus on two specific issues: the choice between marginal and random-effects models, and the choice of the time point origin.
Still, these remained the exception and their impact on the committees's choices was marginal.
In the marginal model, several specific choices of the structure of the working correlation matrix R are possible.
We show in a theoretical model that the benefit from additional attention to the marginal attribute within a choice set depends upon the expected utility loss from making a suboptimal choice if it is ignored.
It turns out that the capability of this copula-based derived distribution is strongly influenced by the choice of marginal distribution, while different copula functions have more than negligible impacts on the tails' goodness-of-fit.
We separately investigate the implication of using price vectors with increases and decreases in tariffs from current levels, on marginal value estimate from choice experiment data developed using prospect theory.
