Besides the philosophy underlying statistical inference, statistical theory has the task of considering the types of questions that data analysts might want to ask about the problems they are studying and of providing data analytic techniques for answering them.

* Rutgers sociology professor Ted Goertzel stated that " Lott ’ s massive data set was simply unsuitable for his task ", and that he " compar trends in Idaho and West Virginia and Mississippi with trends in Washington, D. C. and New York City " without proper statistical controls.

The statistical task is also partly ESCB-related and partly a national concern.

It has been utilized in PERT, critical path method ( CPM ) and other project management / control systems to describe the statistical distributions of the time to completion and the cost of a task.

Heavily used in survey research, cross tabulations ( or crosstabs for short ) can be produced by a range of statistical packages, including some that are specialised for the task.

In statistical inference, parameters are sometimes taken to be unobservable, and in this case the statistician's task is to infer what he can about the parameter based on observations of random variables distributed according to the probability distribution in question, or, more concretely stated, based on a random sample taken from the population of interest.

Finally, in order to undertake the tasks of the ESCB, the ECB, assisted by the NCBs, has the task of collecting the necessary statistical information either from the competent national authorities or directly from economic agents.

Such a task involves ( i ) registration of the training examples to a common pose, ( ii ) probabilistic representation of the variation of the registered samples, and ( iii ) statistical inference between the model and the image.

Clustering is a main task of explorative data mining, and a common technique for statistical data analysis used in many fields, including machine learning, pattern recognition, image analysis, information retrieval, and bioinformatics.

We have attempted to simplify the extensive task of analyzing onset ages and completion ages of each child -- more than 1700 values for the entire group -- by constructing figures for each of the 21 centers so that the data for all 34 boys and 34 of the girls will appear together for each growth center.

Therefore, the field of bioinformatics has evolved such that the most pressing task now involves the analysis and interpretation of various types of data.

Shotgun sequencing yields sequence data quickly, but the task of assembling the fragments can be quite complicated for larger genomes.

The most important management task is making sure dimensions among data marts are consistent.

Generating new dimensional data marts against the data stored in the data warehouse is a relatively simple task.

Type of data structure selected for a certain task typically also takes into consideration the type of storage it resides in ( e. g., speed of access, minimal size of storage chunk accessed, etc .).

Rather, this task is left to another body established by UNCLOS, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, which examines scientific data submitted by coastal states that claim a broader reach.

The end-to-end traceability of data flows through n-tier systems is a challenging task which becomes more important when systems increase in complexity.

Each instruction performs a very specific task, typically either an operation on a unit of data ( in a register or in memory, e. g. add or move ), or a jump operation ( deciding which instruction executes next, often conditional on the results of a previous instruction ).

Supervised learning is the machine learning task of inferring a function from labeled training data.

This is particularly useful in applications where the complexity of the data or task makes the design of such a function by hand impractical.

Generally, this task is much more difficult than supervised learning, and typically produces less accurate results for a given amount of input data.

The focus of procedural programming is to break down a programming task into a collection of variables, data structures, and subroutines, whereas in object-oriented programming it is to break down a programming task into objects that expose behavior ( methods ) and data ( members or attributes ) using interfaces.

The transmission of streaming data itself is not a task of the RTSP protocol.

Of course, not all data ends up confined to a single task, which means that more than one processor may require the same data.

This made programming the Amiga a harder task in comparison to the conventional design of the ST.

Scholtes, who commanded the joint special operations task force in Grenada, explained how conventional force leaders misused SOF during the operation, not allowing them to use their unique capabilities, which resulted in high SOF casualties.

In machines with a conventional flat address space, the creator stack and task stacks would be separate heap objects in one heap.

Panalure was developed to facilitate the printing of full-tone black-and-white images from colour negatives – a difficult task with conventional orthochromatic papers due to the orange tint of the film base.

The Morris water navigation task has some advantages over conventional mazes such as the T-maze.

In Buddhism " the conventional Sangha of monks has been entrusted by the Buddha with the task of leading all people in creating the ideal world community of noble disciples or truly civilized people.

This unit is intended to have the same capabilities as its Army counterpart, and so far their main task has been to support Special Forces or other conventional Marine Corps units when operating in semi-urban areas.

Having made this critique of social theory, Unger's key task was to reconstruct social theory in a way that would resist the typologies and the necessitarian nature of conventional deep-structure social theory, and to avoid the failure of the positive social sciences to explain the world.

Jets were in service with the U. S. Air Force and the U. S. Navy at this time, yet Hartmann believed that they were actually not up to the task of dealing with insurgents as opposed to fighting conventional armies on the ground.

As a result, it is inappropriate to judge the validity of assent in concrete faith by conventional logical standards because paper logic is unequal to the task.

While these aims are similar to that of conventional United Nations Associations in advocating the United Nations Charter and educating young people about the structure and functions of the United Nations, UN Youth is also committed to the task of advocating the role of young people in domestic affairs, and of young people playing an active part in the democratic process.

He did not need to prove the common parentage of Sanskrit with Persian, Greek, Latin and German, for previous scholars had long established that ; but he aimed to trace the common origin of those languages ' grammatical forms, of their inflections from composition – a task which no predecessor had attempted.

A fear exists that nanomechanical robots, if achieved, and if designed to self-replicate using naturally occurring materials ( a difficult task ), could consume the entire planet in their hunger for raw materials, or simply crowd out natural life, out-competing it for energy ( as happened historically when blue-green algae appeared and outcompeted earlier life forms ).

English has fairly simple morphology, especially inflectional morphology, and thus it is often possible to ignore this task entirely and simply model all possible forms of a word ( e. g. " open, opens, opened, opening ") as separate words.

The theory of Permanent Revolution considers that the peasantry as a whole cannot take on this task, because it is dispersed in small holdings throughout the country, and forms a heterogeneous grouping, including the rich peasants who employ rural workers and aspire to landlordism as well as the poor peasants who aspire to own more land.

For instance, students may simply be given the task of identifying all the tree species in a land lab, or an advanced student may be doing an intensive survey of the microbial life forms found in a soil sample.

There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction level, data, and task parallelism.

Depending on the context a tutorial can take one of many forms, ranging from a set of instructions to complete a task to an interactive problem solving session ( usually in academia ).

" However, an historian took Suleri to task for the " casual manner in which she forms important generalizations without benefit of hard data.

The U. S. Navy still uses numbered task forces, and the U. S. Department of Defense often forms a joint task force if the force includes units from other services.

One of the most harmful forms of copy-and-paste programming occurs in code that performs a repetitive task, or variations of the same basic task depending on some variable.

Both time and task management make heavy use of information tools and external forms of information such as to-do lists, calendars, timelines, Gantt charts, etc.

In recent years, the P300 auditory component, which forms in response to a detection task that occurs a short time after a stimulus, has acquired a great deal of recognition.

Black denounces work for its compulsion, and for the forms it takes – as subordination to a boss, as a " job " which turns a potentially enjoyable task into a meaningless chore, for the degradation imposed by systems of work-discipline, and for the large number of work-related deaths and injuries – which Black characterizes as homicide.

The GNS theory incorporates Jonathan Tweet's three forms of task resolution that determine the outcome of an event.

The three task resolution forms are:

An alidade ( archaic forms include alhidade, alhidad, alidad ) or a turning board is a device that allows one to sight a distant object and use the line of sight to perform a task.

Both incluing and infodumping are forms of exposition and are frequently used in science fiction and fantasy, genres where the author has the task to make the reader believe in a world that does not exist.

Black denounces work for its compulsion, and for the forms it takes-as subordination to a boss, as a " job " which turns a potentially enjoyable task into a meaningless chore, for the degradation imposed by systems of work-discipline, and for the large number of work-related deaths and injuries-which Black typifies as " homicide ".

" The task of universal pragmatics is to identify and reconstruct universal conditions of possible mutual understanding ... other forms of social action — for example, conflict, competition, strategic action in general — are derivatives of action oriented toward reaching understanding.

What differentiates knowledge work from other forms of work is its primary task of " non-routine " problem solving that requires a combination of convergent, divergent, and creative thinking ( Reinhardt et al., 2011 ).

The task of developing the new Flood forms, organic Flood terrain, and other miscellaneous changes fell to Vic DeLeon, Bungie's Senior Environment Artist.

Forms have existed for a significant amount of time, with historians of law have discovered preprinted legal forms from the early 19th century that greatly simplified the task of drafting complaints and various other legal pleadings.
