Mrs. Clinton could do a trial run there, "testing the structure," as one former aide put it.
Testing the Structure of Conditional Correlations in Multivariate GARCH Models: A Generalized Cross-Spectrum Approach, with N. McCloud, International Economic Review 52 (2011), 991-1037.
Scientists at the university have been testing the structure and energy efficiency of the brain, discovering that the high-demand of day-to-day cognition means there is a limit to what we are capable of.
This is particularly useful for testing the structure of a distribution (power-law or not, exponential or not) independently of the possibility of quantifying the values of the parameters.
It is clear that some uncertainty could be reduced by increasing the knowledge of the corrosion mechanism or testing the structure: in this case the uncertainty should be modelled as epistemic instead of aleatory (Saassouh and Lounis 2012; Do et al. 2005).
As seen above, doubts remain in regards to the single dimensionality of the IQCODE, which not only spring from theoretical and conceptual disputes, but also from empirical clues identified in multivariate analyses used for testing the structure.
