He noted, ' Captains ... to be successful must possess, in a marked degree, initiative, resource, determination, and no fear of accepting responsibility ', and particularly regarding wartime conditions '... as a rule instructions will be of a very general character so as to avoid interfering with the judgement and initiative of captains ... The admiral will rely on captains to use all the information at their disposal to grasp the situation quickly and anticipate his wishes, using their own discretion as to how to act in unforeseen circumstances ..' The approach outlined by Beatty contradicted the views of many within the navy, who felt that ships should always be closely controlled by their commanding admiral, and harked back to reforms attempted by Admiral George Tryon.

Exceptions to this general rule are when has repeated roots, or when contains no odd powers of.

This statistic is in contrast to the general population of the United States, which is 34 % non-white.

</ li >< li > its invariance for a sufficient statistic deterministic mapping from one variable to another and more general for, i. e. a broadened distribution has smaller.

Note that is a function of and the observation, so that, in general, it is not a statistic.

The statistic is particularly useful if one takes T to be a maximum likelihood estimator, which in general will not be sufficient ; then one can ask for an ancillary complement.

In order to make the statistic a consistent estimator for the scale parameter, one must in general multiply the statistic by a constant scale factor.

The general formula for Pearson's chi-squared test statistic is

Similarly, the result of Bayesian inference applied to a choice of single multinomial distribution for all rows of the contingency table taken together versus the more general alternative of a separate multinomial per row produces results very similar to the G statistic.

In general a test is called two-tailed if the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic falling into either tail of its sampling distribution, and it is called one-sided or one-tailed if the null hypothesis is rejected only for values of the test statistic falling into one specified tail of its sampling distribution.

For example, asking whether R = 1 is the same as asking whether log R = 0 ; but the Wald statistic for R = 1 is not the same as the Wald statistic for log R = 0 ( because there is in general no neat relationship between the standard errors of R and log R ).

Duncan's MRT belongs to the general class of multiple comparison procedures that use the studentized range statistic q < sub > r </ sub > to compare sets of means.

where is the Boltzmann constant, T is temperature ( assumed to be a well-defined quantity ), is the degeneracy ( meaning, the number of levels having energy ; sometimes, the more general ' states ' are used instead of levels, to avoid using degeneracy in the equation ), N is the total number of particles and Z ( T ) is the partition function.

However, the law of mass action is valid only for concerted one-step reactions that proceed through a single transition state and is not valid in general because rate equations do not, in general, follow the stoichiometry of the reaction as Guldberg and Waage had proposed ( see, for example, nucleophilic aliphatic substitution by S < sub > N </ sub > 1 or reaction of hydrogen and bromine to form hydrogen bromide ).

( N. B., while hierarchies are commonly studied using graph theory, the general terminology used is different, and words such as " direct " may have different general meanings )

The first general method for solving the Pell equation ( for all N ) was given by Bhaskara II in 1150, extending the methods of Brahmagupta.

For example, the general quantum state of a system of N bosons is written as

In general, this is a sum of N!

In mechanics, the virial theorem provides a general equation relating the average over time of the total kinetic energy,, of a stable system consisting of N particles, bound by potential forces, with that of the total potential energy,, where angle brackets represent the average over time of the enclosed quantity.

In general, the guest in room N goes to room ( N + 1 ) to get N cigars.

In general, this form requires 2N delay elements ( for both input and output signals ) for a filter of order N.

In general, " M: N " threading systems are more complex to implement than either kernel or user threads, because changes to both kernel and user-space code are required.

The algorithm was named after Nicholas Metropolis, who was an author along with Arianna W. Rosenbluth, Marshall N. Rosenbluth, Augusta H. Teller, and Edward Teller of the 1953 paper Equation of State Calculations by Fast Computing Machines which first proposed the algorithm for the specific case of the Boltzmann distribution ; and W. Keith Hastings, who extended it to the more general case in 1970.

In a general way, the keyboard can be thought of as divided down the center, between T and Y, G and H, and N and M. The keys in each zone are numbered moving away from this dividing line: so we should actually say that in zone QWERT, T is the first letter, R is the second, and E the third ; in zone YUIOP, Y is the first, U is the second, I the third, etc.

In general, a system that contains 2 ^ N processors with each processor directly connected to N other processors, the diameter of the system is N. One disadvantage of a hypercube system is that it must be configured in powers of two, so a machine must be built that could potentially have many more processors than is really needed for the application.
