That is, given any two marks, no matter how small the difference between them, they could be instantiating two different characters, and given any two characters, no matter how small the difference between them, they may have different referents (Goodman 1976, 226 227; Goodman, Elgin 1988, Chap. 7).
In this case, any non-zero NLCD cover estimate would be considered significantly different from the interpreted values, no matter how small the difference.
aAge estimated from vWF, 12s and 16s bAge estimated from vWF, ADRA2B, BRCA1 cAge estimated from vWF, ADRA2B, AR Because the GHR influence on the dating was very small, the difference in taxon sampling between the two studies might be responsible for the different outcomes [ 50].
While variations tend to be small, the difference between a fund's return and the index's return, often called tracking error, can sometimes be significant.
The final of the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams at the Spring North American Championships in Dallas last month showed just how small the difference between winning and losing can be.
Though unpaid care is more common among part-time workers, it may come as a surprise just how small the difference is between economically active and the economically inactive.
In spite of sample sizes being quite small the differences are significant (p = 0.03 and 0.01).
Therefore although small, the differences on the scales should be considered relevant to address.
The weaker the white noise, the smaller the difference.
The smaller the difference between the two images is, the smaller the MSE is.
As the frequency is smaller, the difference of the two performance indexes between the simulation and the experiment are smaller.
