Somehow the notion of rhythmic precision is also poignant; for all their symmetry and rigorous construction, Berkeley's dances are not merely inanimate designs or cinematic artifacts frozen in the past.
The notion of cancer precision medicine is appealingly simple; given the complete catalog of mutations and cell types present in each patient's tumor, along with sufficient prior knowledge, it should be possible to design a therapeutic strategy that improves outcomes.
The actual mechanism that cancels noise might be complex, e.g., involving numerous internal signals, but our notion of a precision signal abstracts away the actual signals that correct for noise and retains only their cost and efficacy.
Validity, in this context, incorporates notions of measurement precision and accuracy as well as the value of the metric in predicting the health outcome(s) of interest.
The lack of precision in the notion of continuous function still vaguely understood as one which could be represented by a formula and whose associated curve could be smoothly drawn had led to doubts concerning the validity of a number of procedures in which that concept figured.
Moreover, Carnap held that explication of the notion of analyticity in formal languages yielded the kind of precision that rendered the complaint of circularity irrelevant: vague intuitions of meaning were no longer relied upon.
Another is the implicit claim that since every story is the product of other stories, a writer needn't be shackled to notions of verisimilitude, historical precision, plausibility or even coherence.
Zeros in the precision matrix indicate some notion of partial correlation independence between two variables.
