There is no room for error or waste.

To my knowledge, Lincoln remains the only Head of State and Commander-in-Chief who, while fighting a fearful war whose issue was in doubt, proved man enough to say this publicly -- to give his foe the benefit of the fact that in all human truth there is some error, and in all our error, some truth.

So great a man could not but understand, too, that the thing that moves men to sacrifice their lives is not the error of their thought, which their opponents see and attack, but the truth which the latter do not see -- any more than they see the error which mars the truth they themselves defend.

Their great error is to mingle the responses typical of each of the three types of change.

Without a precise knowledge of Germanic philology, however, it is debatable whether their use was not more often a source of confusion and error than anything else.

The observational data determining the concentration distribution have a range of error which is magnified in the extension into the micrometeorite region.

Another problem in the area of federal-state relationships is this: what constitutes reversible error in a state decision??

If the polarity is correct, the platform will turn until the heading error angle is zero.

If the drift error is systematic, it can be canceled with a bias circuit which can be arranged and adjusted to supply the required compensating current.

The point is at a latitude **yl, and the platform is at an error in heading east.

Such talk is seriously in error.

He has a pleasant sense of humor and is modest enough to admit mistakes and even `` a cardinal error ''.

He contends this idea doesn't conflict with experiments on which the principle of conservation of matter and energy is based because some slight error must be assumed in such experiments.

It allows compact encoding, but is less reliable for data transmission ; an error in transmitting the shift code typically makes a long part of the transmission unreadable.

( It follows that the mean is also the best single predictor in the sense of having the lowest root mean squared error.

The Type II error rate is a function of several things including

the result of the effect and is partially random error.

Random error is typically assumed to be normally distributed with zero mean and a constant variance.

Random error is also called experimental error.

The number of degrees of freedom DF can be partitioned in a similar way: one of these components ( that for error ) specifies a chi-squared distribution which describes the associated sum of squares, while the same is true for " treatments " if there is no treatment effect.

Including replication allows an estimate of the random error independent of any lack of fit error.

The final sums and should be zero, but the second pass compensates for any small error.

In baseball, an earned run is any run for which the pitcher is held accountable ( i. e., the run scored as a result of normal pitching, and not due to a fielding error or a passed ball ).

An error made by the pitcher in fielding at his position is counted the same as an error by any other player.

* A batter reaches base on an error ( including catcher's interference ), and later scores a run in that inning by any means.

This also includes any run ( or any subsequent run ) that scores on plays that result in outs with one out or a double play with none out if an error has extended the inning.

:( 3 ) pitcher, the catcher or any infielder handles a batted ball and puts out a preceding runner who is attempting to advance one base or to return to his original base, or would have put out such runner with ordinary effort except for a fielding error.

In baseball statistics, on-base percentage ( OBP ; sometimes referred to as on-base average / OBA, as the statistic is rarely presented as a true percentage ) is a measure of how often a batter reaches base for any reason other than a fielding error, fielder's choice, dropped / uncaught third strike, fielder's obstruction, or catcher's interference ( the latter two are ignored as either times-on-base ( TOB ) or plate appearances in calculating OBP ).

" The next year, it was clarified that any attempt to steal must be credited to the runner, and that fielders committing errors during this play must also be charged with an error.

Detailed analysis shows that the complexity class is unchanged by allowing error as high as 1 / 2 − n < sup >− c </ sup > on the one hand, or requiring error as small as 2 < sup >− n < sup > c </ sup ></ sup > on the other hand, where c is any positive constant, and n is the length of input.

Thus, any error in technology or judgment may have far-reaching consequences ( though the same can also happen through natural reproduction ).

The error must be located and rectified and the totals of debit column and credit column recalculated to check for agreement before any further processing can take place.

One of the most cited explanations in official inquiries as to the loss of any aircraft or vessel is human error.

* There exists a computable function which, given any positive rational error bound, produces a rational number r such that

Due to an organizational error ( it was claimed ), the fire was begun without any warning to the residents of the city.

With this checksum, any transmission error that flips a single bit of the message, or an odd number of bits, will be detected as an incorrect checksum.

This variant too detects any single-bit error, but the probability that a two-bit error will go undetected is a little less than 1 / n.

Because the methods are independent, when one of several methods is in error, it is very unlikely to be in error in the same way as any of the other methods, and a difference between the measurements will be observed.

Perhaps, when converting the abstract design into the chosen programming language, one might inadvertently create an off-by-one error and fail to sort the last word in the list.

These are often determined by trial and error rather than any sort of systematic approach.

Trial and error is actually more efficient and practical than bogosort ; unlike bogosort, it is guaranteed to halt in finite time on a finite list, and might even be a reasonable way to sort extremely short lists under some conditions.

Polybius in his Histories ( c. 140 BC ), Book XXXIV, cites Pytheas as one " who has led many people into error by saying that he traversed the whole of Britain on foot, giving the island a circumference of forty thousand stades, and telling us also about Thule, those regions in which there was no longer any proper land nor sea nor air, but a sort of mixture of all three of the consistency of a jellyfish in which one can neither walk nor sail, holding everything together, so to speak.

Index checking means that, in all expressions indexing an array, first check the index value against the bounds of the array which were established when the array was defined, and should an index be out of bounds, further execution is suspended via some sort of error.

The Parlement issued its Extraits des assertions assembled from passages from Jesuit theologians and canonists, in which they were alleged to teach every sort of immorality and error.

Even where a state obtains a new trial after conviction because of errors, while an accused may be placed on trial a second time, it is not the sort of hardship to the accused that is forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment ... For we see no difference from a constitutional point of view between a new trial for error of law at the instance of the state that results in a death sentence instead of imprisonment for life and an execution that follows a failure of equipment.

The trio struggle to find a place to stay when they come across a place called " The Island of Misfit Toys ," where unwanted playthings with some sort of physical error or flaw go to live until the island's ruler, King Moonracer, a brown winged lion, manages to find homes for them.

Still sure there was some sort of error in her route assignment, Donna turns to Sally Weston for help.

This rests largely on a confused passage in Symeon of Durham's Historia Regum Anglorum, and it has more recently been suggested that the interpretation offered by Frank Stenton — that it is based on a textual error and that Óengus and Æthelbald were not associated in any sort of joint overlordship — is the correct one.

The operators often claim that they work for an audio retailer or audio installer and that, through some sort of corporate error ( warehouse operator mistake, bookkeeping mistakes, computer glitch, etc.

An error would not occur at this stage unless he or she were visually impaired or had some sort of stimulus deficit.

The 9th Circuit Court thus made a grievous error when it determined that this case was "' not the sort election that has previously triggered Fifteenth Amendment analysis '.

Another way to deal with instrument error may be to reduce the reactivity of the system to being measured by using some sort of Weak measurement.
