"The supposed scientific allure and perceived rigor of randomized control trials actually inhibits more useful comparative designs and thoughtful, detailed examination of variation".
Controlling for macroeconomic shocks, quality of bank regulations, and institutional development, we find that both private and public interests, as well as outside pressure to emulate developed-country regulatory schemes, can explain the timing of adoption decisions and the rigor of loss-control arrangements.
The board of directors is responsible for protecting stakeholders; it is our opinion that until corporate directors are held to a higher standard, fraud will continue regardless of the rigor of internal controls.
In a related study of the interaction networks of genes (Lezon et al. 2006), larger networks have been studied, but this required that the trade-off between the rigor of analysis, controlling, for example, for the relevance of higher-order correlations, and the size of the treatable network had been biased towards the network size.
But with five laps to go, the rigors of maintaining control of a 200-mile-per-hour motorcycle began to assert their toll on the champion's forearms.
Currently there is no validated PCR test in common use, only in-house systems which are open to differing interpretation and none would meet the rigors of quality control to make this assay used worldwide.
Therefore, without the rigor of a randomized, controlled research design, the internal validity of a study is called into question, and the relative contributions of the multitude of biopsychosocial mechanisms responsible for the wide variety of consequences seen in human offspring remain obscure.
Despite their clear benefits and diversity of application, the initial findings also revealed that the rigor and control of such studies should improve in Software Engineering.
"He's a man of rigor, he's a man of control, he's a good administrator, he's a good manager.
Given the complexity of this exercise, we have drawn a fine balance between analytical rigor that forms the backbone of control process engineering and the intuition that is necessary to understand social science phenomena.
