The assumption of the reference answer to Question C is questioned that "The bonus is paid at the end of the year" in 2001 National Undergraduate Math Modeling Contest.The writer of this paper argues that the assumption just only maximizes the prize money,but its operation is very weak and ...
Assumptions are foundational in many areas, serving as the basis for hypotheses in scientific research, strategies in business, and even daily decision-making. These presupposed ideas or principles do not necessarily require immediate proof but are accepted to move forward in reasoning or action. Con...
Table 3 Performance of tools in detecting overall lack of fit in different scenarios Full size table Table 4 shows results of the same format but for the 14 example parameter combinations. When the sensitivities were HHHH, the performance of all three tools varied immensely depending on the speci...
In fact, we can always recursively trace a ray whenever we hit an object. For example, we can randomly choose a reflection direction ωi and weight the contribution of this newly spawned ray by evaluating the BRDF fr(p, ωo, ωi). This simple but powerful idea can lead to very ...
This study originally proposed to study Capimna’s project, but that community was weary of such research visits and refused a request to carry out the study there. Palo Blanco, though completing only its first year of ecotourism developmemt was chosen as an alternate site. Perhaps it should ...
In experimental research, variables are the specific characteristics or factors that are manipulated and measured in order to test a hypothesis. These variables are carefully controlled and manipulated in order to observe the effect on the outcome or dependent variable. For example, in a study examin...
Different assumptions and predictions that can be used to distinguish research based on the speech community, social identity theory, and communities of practice. As it turns out, hip-hop is doing quite a lot right, particularly in its hidden theoretical assumptions about cultural dynamics. Figur...
In fact, the study demonstrated why it's crucial to include women in research. While women's menstrual cycles didn't affect their exercise, there were key differences between how women's and men's endurance played out. For example, women reached exhaustion from muscle fatigue about 18% faster...
P.V.Rosenau, inInternational Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2001 If methodology is defined as referring to the foundations of knowledge, as how we perceive and understand reality, as well as how we study it, then there is not only an implicit postmodern methodology, there a...
After placing equivalence testing in context by reviewing its history, a formal definition and a numerical example of equivalence testing are given. Equivalence testing is then applied to the evaluation of the homogeneity of variance assumption, via a simulation study. An illustrative research example ...
