Predictions from these 100 smoothers were then made across the range of the data.

Predictions for the Moon's Leonid impacts also noted that in 2000 the side of the Moon facing the stream was away from the Earth but that impacts should be in number enough to raise a cloud of particles kicked off the Moon by impacts would cause a detectable increase in the sodium tail of the Moon.

Predictions from both these theories have been confirmed in different experimental contexts, with no theory winning outright.

Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements.

Predictions have often been made, from antiquity until the present, by using paranormal or supernatural means such as prophecy or by observing omens.

Dr Mann is author of more than 140 peer-reviewed and edited publications, and has published two books: Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming in 2008 and The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines, published in early 2012.

Predictions of physical and mental performance are computed via genetics from DNA collected from hair, fingernails, skin flakes, spit swabs, eyelashes, etc.

Predictions from these models can be tested in patients and / or via pharmacological manipulations, and these studies can in turn be used to inform the models, making the process recursive.

This document is available publicly from the Naval Research Laboratory's Ocean Dynamics and Predictions Branch.

Predictions of the force were later extended to finite-conductivity metals and dielectrics by Lifshitz and his students, and recent calculations have considered more general geometries.

Predictions have been made that more than 40 % of the animal and plant species in Southeast Asia could be wiped out in the 21st century.

Predictions of quantum mechanics have been verified experimentally to an extremely high degree of accuracy.

* Predictions have been made for commercial hypersonic air travel by 2050.

Predictions have been made as to how many DLNA Certified products are shipping:

His books have appeared in a number of other languages ; Predictions has been translated into German, Japanese, and Greek, and Conquering Uncertainty has been translated into Chinese Long Form, Chinese Short Form, Greek, and Dutch.

that the first day should make the last, that the Tail of the Snake should return into its Mouth precisely at that time, and they should wind up upon the day of their Nativity, is indeed a remarkable Coincidence, which tho Astrology hath taken witty pains to salve, yet hath it been very wary in making Predictions of it.

* " Mesoscale Compressible Community ( MC2 ) Real-Time Model Predictions ".

In a 1983 paperback, Wayne Coffey's 303 of the World's Worst Predictions, McGrory was falsely described as having " predicted " in her Washington Star column that George McGovern would win the 1972 presidential campaign " by a landslide ".

On October 21, Time magazine's website listed Camping's end times prediction as one of Times " Top 10 Failed Predictions ".

More often, these offices are restricted to the gathering of empirical data.

The point is that in a system such as Fromm's which recognizes unconscious motivations, and which rests on certain ethical absolutes, empirical data can be used to support whatever proposition the writer is urging at the moment.

Methods that do not include any empirical or semi-empirical parameters in their equations – being derived directly from theoretical principles, with no inclusion of experimental data – are called ab initio methods.

Density functional theory ( DFT ) methods are often considered to be ab initio methods for determining the molecular electronic structure, even though many of the most common functionals use parameters derived from empirical data, or from more complex calculations.

Semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods are based on the Hartree – Fock formalism, but make many approximations and obtain some parameters from empirical data.

* Atomic radii of the elements ( data page ) — atomic radius ( empirical ), atomic radius ( calculated ), van der Waals radius, covalent radius

By contrast with empiricism and idealism, which emphasize the epistemologically privileged status of sense data ( empirical ) and the primacy of Reason ( theoretical ) respectively, modern rationalism adds a third ' system of thinking ', ( as Gaston Bachelard has termed these areas ) and holds that all three are of equal importance: The empirical, the theoretical and the abstract.

The main challenge in this research is the lack of empirical data: spoken language leaves practically no traces.

Through quantifying the evidence or making sense of it in qualitative form, a researcher can answer empirical questions, which should be clearly defined and answerable with the evidence collected ( usually called data ).

In scientific use the term empirical refers to the gathering of data using only evidence that is observable by the senses or in some cases using calibrated scientific instruments.

What early philosophers described as empiricist and empirical research have in common is the dependence on observable data to formulate and test theories and come to conclusions.

In practice, the accumulation of evidence for or against any particular theory involves planned research designs for the collection of empirical data, and academic rigor plays a large part of judging the merits of research design.

Accurate analysis of data using standardized statistical methods in scientific studies is critical to determining the validity of empirical research.

If empirical data reach significance under the appropriate statistical formula, the research hypothesis is supported.

Econometrics is " the application of mathematics and statistical methods to economic data " and described as the branch of economics " that aims to give empirical content to economic relations.

While it may be mathematically possible to construct such a system, it is not clear what additional explanatory power or physical insight such a system would provide, assuming that it does indeed accord with existing empirical data.

The primary method of historicism was empirical, namely that there were so many requisite inputs into a society or event, that only by focusing on the data available could a theory of the source be determined.

The labor theory of value predicts that profits will be higher in labor-intensive industries than in capital-intensive industries, and empirical data contradicts this.

One claim is that the empirical data gathered by experimental philosophers can have an indirect effect on philosophical questions by allowing for a better understanding of the underlying psychological processes which lead to philosophical intuitions.

While details of macroevolution are continuously studied by the scientific community, the overall theory behind macroevolution ( i. e. common descent ) has been overwhelmingly consistent with empirical data.

He was forced, by his extreme empiricism, to posit the existence of God in order to explain our experience of coherence, even though on an empirical understanding of raw sense data, such a conclusion did not follow.

Again, for early 20th century physics, the transition between the Maxwellian electromagnetic worldview and the Einsteinian Relativistic worldview was neither instantaneous nor calm, and instead involved a protracted set of " attacks ," both with empirical data as well as rhetorical or philosophical arguments, by both sides, with the Einsteinian theory winning out in the long-run.

One of the major tasks of rheology is to empirically establish the relationships between deformations and stresses, respectively their derivatives by adequate measurements, although a number of theoretical developments ( such as assuring frame invariants ) are also required before using the empirical data.
