The Ontological Significance of Variables
1. Introduction: The Issue. The use of single letters in displaying patterns, functions, generalizations, and unknowns, dominates mathematical expression, and for that reason, appears in every domain of theoretical and technical discourse employing even the slightest bit of mathematical language. These variables, as they have come to be called, are the very mark of abstract power and precision,...
متن کاملOn the significance of omitted variables in intersection crash modeling.
Advances in safety research--trying to improve the collective understanding of motor vehicle crash causes and contributing factors--rest upon the pursuit of numerous lines of research inquiry. The research community has focused considerable attention on analytical methods development (negative binomial models, simultaneous equations, etc.), on better experimental designs (before-after studies, ...
متن کاملThe significance of key operational variables to the enhancement of hydrogen production in a single-chamber microbial electrolysis cell (MEC)
Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is one of the promising and cutting-edge technologies for generating hydrogen from wastewater through biodegradation of organic waste by exoelectrogenic microbes. In the MECs, the operational parameters, such as applied voltage (Eap), anode surface area, anode-cathode distance, and N2/CO2 volume ratio have a significant impact on the hydrogen yield and producti...
متن کاملStatistical significance of variables driving systematic variation in high-dimensional data
MOTIVATION There are a number of well-established methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) for automatically capturing systematic variation due to latent variables in large-scale genomic data. PCA and related methods may directly provide a quantitative characterization of a complex biological variable that is otherwise difficult to precisely define or model. An unsolved problem in thi...
متن کاملThe Significance of Method Parameters and Local Variables as Beacons for Comprehension: An Empirical Study
It is widely accepted that meaningful variable names are important for comprehension. We claim that not all variables are equally significant to the process of code comprehension. We conducted a controlled experiment in which 9 professional developers try to understand 6 methods from production util classes, either with the original variable names or with names replaced by meaningless single le...
