Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

After all, when one has asked whatever became of old Joe and Charlie when one has inquired who it was Sue Brown married and where it is they now live when questions are asked and answered about families and children, and old professors when the game and its probable outcome has been exhausted that does it.

Then, too, the utmost clinical flexibility is necessary in judiciously combining carefully timed family-oriented home visits, single and group office interviews, and appropriate telephone follow-up calls, if the worker is to be genuinely accessible and if the predicted unhealthy outcome is to be actually averted in accordance with the principles of preventive intervention.

Especially noteworthy is Levinger's finding that the length of treatment per se is not a reliable indicator of successful outcome.

Autosuggestibility, the reaction of the subject in such a way as to conform to his own expectations of the outcome ( i.e., that the arm-rise is a reaction to the pressure exerted in the voluntary contraction, because of his knowledge that `` to every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction '' ) also seems inadequate as an explanation for the following reasons: ( 1 ) the subjects' apparently genuine experience of surprise when their arms rose, and ( 2 ) manifestations of the phenomenon despite anticipations of something else happening ( e.g., of becoming dizzy and maybe falling, an expectation spontaneously volunteered by one of the subjects ).

The process in which the outcome of any one stage is known only statistically is also of interest, although for chemical reactor design it is not as important as the deterministic process.

If we consider a process in which the outcome of one stage is known before passage to the next, then the principle of optimality shows that the policy in subsequent stages should be optimal with respect to the outcome of the first.

The discussion of the optimal policy when the outcome of one stage is not known before passing to the next is a very much more difficult matter.

This avoids confusion between past events ( which cannot be changed ), the present ( which one can test but not generally change ) and future events ( which one still has time to change even on a large scale ), which can prevent noticing or taking an action to improve a future outcome.

Although genetics plays a large role in the appearance and behavior of organisms, it is the combination of genetics with what an organism experiences that determines the ultimate outcome.

However, a 2007 meta-analysis concluded that " pair programming is not uniformly beneficial or effective " because many other factors besides the choice of whether to use pair programming have large effects on the outcome of a programming task.

Such a theory of quantum gravity would yield the same experimental results as ordinary quantum mechanics in conditions of weak gravity ( gravitational potentials much less than c < sup > 2 </ sup >) and the same results as Einsteinian general relativity in phenomena at scales much larger than individual molecules ( action much larger than reduced Planck's constant ), but moreover be able to predict the outcome of situations where both quantum effects and strong-field gravity are important ( at the Planck scale, unless large extra dimension conjectures are correct ).

However, the battlefield was very large and clouds of dust made it impossible to make a clear assessment of the outcome of the battle, so both parts were ignorant of each other's fate.

For example, the original Command & Conquer gave birth to the now-common " tank rush " tactic, where the game outcome is often decided very early on by one player gaining an initial advantage in resources and producing large amounts of a relatively powerful but still quite cheap unit — which is thrown at the opposition before they have had time to establish defenses or production.

At one point, the commune imported large numbers of homeless people from various US cities in a failed attempt to affect the outcome of an election, before releasing them into surrounding towns and leaving it to the State of Oregon to return them to their home cities at the state's expense.

In addition, pregnancy registries are large, prospective studies that monitor exposures women receive during their pregnancies and record the outcome of their births.

A large portion of Ali's troops ( who later became the first Kharijites ) refused to concede to that agreement, and they considered that Ali had breached a Qur ' anic verse which states that The decision is only for Allah ( Qur ' an 6: 57 ), which the Kharijites interpreted to mean that the outcome of a conflict can only be decided in battle ( by God ) and not in negotiations ( by human beings ).

This has consequences for the quality of decisions made by large numbers of people, such as general elections, where the probability of any one vote changing the outcome is very small.

They commandeer the ships, whose holds are large enough to carry them all, and depart the galaxy to find a new world of their own, an outcome that official policy had forbidden.

The outcome may be summarized using the Glasgow Coma Scale, which yields a number in the range 3 — 15, with a score of 3 indicating brain death ( the lowest defined level of consciousness ), and 15 indicating full consciousness.

More technically, the probability that an outcome is in a particular range is derived from the integration of the probability density function in that range.

While there is much overlap between prediction and forecast, a prediction may be a statement that some outcome is expected, while a forecast is more specific, and may cover a range of possible outcomes.

This typically yields a broad range of potential negotiated solutions, making it unlikely that the efficient outcome will be the one selected.

It was adopted to counter the criticism that the outcome of overtime games was very frequently decided by the coin toss, as the team which won it usually attempted only enough offensive action to maneuver into field goal range and seldom made a real effort to score a touchdown.

This stems from the fact that it is sometimes convenient to express the outcome of a categorical distribution as a " 1-of-K " vector ( a vector with one element containing a 1 and all other elements containing a 0 ) rather than as an integer in the range ; in this form, a categorical distribution is equivalent to a multinomial distribution over a single observation.

This was Edgeworth's key finding-the result of trade between two people can be predicted within a certain range but the exact outcome is indeterminate.

In support of the anti-Dodo Bird side, Hunsley ( 2007 ) says that when “ measurement quality is controlled for and when treatments are appropriately categorized, there is consistent evidence in both treatment outcome and comparative treatment research that cognitive and behavioral treatments are superior to other treatments for a wide range of conditions, in both adult and child samples .” This suggests that if and when variables are controlled, there is appreciable evidence for the superiority of cognitive and behavioral treatments.
