Given that most of these models seem to be indispensable to the practice of science, a simple picture of the organization of science along the lines of Nagel's (1961) model of reduction or Oppenheim and Putnam's (1958) pyramid picture does not seem plausible.
In 1974, he said, there was a consensus in Congress about what to do, including overriding Mr. Nixon's practice of "impoundment," a simple refusal to spend money that Congress had appropriated.

To see how this idea might apply in practice, consider a simple urn model of opinion polling to predict which of two candidates will win an election.
On the basis of this six-factor model, due to its ease of use in clinical practice, a simple sum score was created as an estimation of the risk of developing moderate or severe chronic pain in the operated area.

To demonstrate PMM and LRD in practice, we provide a simple analysis of a real partially observed dataset.
The findings will have the potential to influence a change of clinical practice: RIC is a simple, non-invasive intervention that is cheap to deploy in an area where there are few, if any, effective alternatives.
