This suggests that we do not have an unchanging data-generating process.
With the roll-out of a strong 4G network, the launch of the iPhone, and the reported confirmation of unchanging unlimited data, Sprint may just pull off an Appalachian St. vs. Michigan-style upset.
On the other side, the common container format and the unchanging way of how the data is archived in the data repository allows to hide these issues from the scientist by removing the need to adapt the analyses and visualizations themselves to new data formats or methods of accessing the data.
Furthermore, culture is not monolithic, nor it is unchanging, nor still is it unchangeable.
Living fossil poster child, coelacanths, were shown to not be as unchanging as previously thought through molecular analysis and palaeontological data (Casane and Laurneti 2013) although subsequent genome work shows that they are comparatively morphologically stable compared to other groups so are "almost living fossils" (Cavin and Guinot 2014).
Maybe this makes sense in their mindset of unchanging truths, but in the real world (and in science), more data are better, and change is good when the data demand it!
A novel analytical method was applied to the microarray data: identification of genes whose expression is relatively unchanging in the control population and becomes HV in JRA patients with active disease.
If you, as a developer, know with certainty that your data isn't altered during execution, and that your functions are transitive (effectively unchanging), your application can benefit from the increased scale and distributed computing made easier by a functional language. .
In this case, A indicates the number of exons called differentially expressed on both platforms, B indicates the number of exons called unchanging on both platforms, C represents the number of exons called differentially expressed in the RNA-Seq data but not the Exon array and D represents the number of exons called unchanging in RNA-Seq but differentially expressed on the Exon array.
