That could erode the leagues' business models, which rely heavily on television networks that pay tens of billions of dollars to broadcast their games.
Samsung has announced its first smartwatch to have its own 3G mobile phone connection, unlike most rival models which rely on a paired mobile phone for internet connectivity, phone calls and messaging.
Hydrological simulation of rain-runoff processes is often performed with lumped models which rely on calibration to generate storm hydrographs and study catchment response to rain.
Elite research universities can provide low-cost courses and badges without threatening their own business models, which rely heavily on research financing and a selective, intensive residential experience for undergraduates.
In the Weather Service's defense, Mr. Dummer said the long-term predictions of this year's flood — the first warnings went out in December — were right on the money, and justified the expense and work involved in the new computer models, which rely on 58 years of river data.
The theoretical aspects and validation of the new model, which rely on a plastic-damage formulation, have been the subject of a former publication; they are briefly summarized here.
So freemium app business models which rely on monetizing a free download after the fact via in-app purchases (IAP) will continue to grow in importance for developers.
Much research in population genetics consists in devising more realistic evolutionary models, which rely on fewer simplifying assumptions and are thus more complicated.
If no such variables are involved (e.g., in case of ToxTree models, which rely on chemical structure only), the workflow proceeds towards model estimation.
Examples of correlative habitat suitability models include BRT (Boosted Regression Tree), MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy), and CART (Classification and Regression Tree) models, which rely on occurrence data.
