What’s more important, the data or the method? | Models Of Reality
http://models.street-artists.org/2015/05/24/whats-more-important-the-data-or-the-method
Engineering, Science, and Society. What's more important, the data or the method? Seeing this set-up you are then asked to write what you can determine about the bag? What can you write? To counteract this, I came up with the bag example, and an explanation about the missing information:. How were the pennies sampled? That this question is crucial becomes obvious when we consider the following different options:. There are an enormous set of possible methods to sample coins. Statisticians are very famili...

Calculus and Allergies | Models Of Reality
http://models.street-artists.org/2015/07/01/calculus-and-allergies
Engineering, Science, and Society. A 20x20x8 ft room is full of air containing 1000 pollen grains per cubic foot, a HEPA filter runs in the room, stirring the air well. The HEPA filter removes 99.997% of pollen grains that pass through the filter, and moves r=300 cfm of air. How long before the room is down to 1 pollen grain per cubic foot? Using nonstandard analysis, we'll suppose we have an infinitesimal time. In which a volume of air. And the concentration in the remaining air remaining as. On Philly ...

Engineering, Science, and Society. Measurement on constructed scales. one of the main difficulties in social and medical sciences. Anyway, then the other day I'm checking the pollen forecast and I find this article. Which refers to this original JAMA study. So, after getting the original article and looking at it, it seems that there is a consistent result, allergy symptoms ARE reduced vs placebo, but as the quote in the popular article:. Since we're ultimately not sure what the scale means. Send Email N...
