Therefore, we chose to enlarge the range of possible models to include generalized linear mixed models, at the expense of possibly slightly exaggerated abnormality scores for CPs and controls with "abnormal" values of the confounding factors.
Though his imagined Free Republic of Aburiria bears an unmistakable resemblance to Kenya under Moi, the sad truth is that there are dozens of possible models for the corruption and venality that mark the Aburirian ruler's regime.
The report - which can be found in full here - suggests wider discussion on a number of possible models, including having Kirkgate being privately run by a company, being run privately in partnership with the council, being run by traders, being run by a trust with traders as trustees or being managed by the council at 'arms-length'.
There were a number of possible models for the character of Strangelove (who at one point tells the President about a report on Doomsday Machines prepared by the Bland Corporation): Wernher von Braun, Teller, even Henry Kissinger, who was an admirer of "On Thermonuclear War," and whose book "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy" (1957) pondered the possibility of tactical nuclear wars.
However, once one adopted an axiomatic approach, the topic of possible models besides the obvious ones surfaced.
The subset of possible models, the model space Ω, to choose from, is 2k = 262,144 potential models.
The number of possible models grows with the number of predictors, which makes the selection a difficult task.
The optimal controller is chosen by minimizing the robust failure probability over a set of possible models for the system.
By having distributions of possible models for the state of the world, we can balance the competing desires for certainty and flexibility.
Although the identification of additional models is possible, it is also likely that there is a ceiling to the number of possible models.
The transition probability of the Markov chain governed the sequence of models in the chain, which were a subset of the finite number of possible models.
