If necessary, I / O plates can be replaced to suit a motherboard that is being fitted ; the I / O plates are usually included with motherboards not designed for a particular computer.

If one runs a regression on some data, then the deviations of the dependent variable observations from the fitted function are the residuals.

If a series is analysed which is known to be random – fair dice falls, or computer-generated pseudo-random numbers – and a trend line is fitted through the data, the chances of a truly zero estimated trend are negligible.

If fitted with Westinghouse brakes the black borders were edged with red lines.

If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat B, C or M ship earth station, or it is expected to be so equipped in the foreseeable future, then the identity should have three trailing zeros:

If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat C ship earth station, or it is expected to be so equipped in the foreseeable future, then the identity could have one trailing zero:

If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat A ship earth station, or has satellite equipment other than Inmarsat, then the identity needs no trailing zero.

If the new data differs in any way from the data that was fitted you may introduce large errors in your predictions because the pattern of multicollinearity between the independent variables is different in your new data from the data you used for your estimates.
