Why are nonlinear fits to data so challenging?
Fitting model parameters to experimental data is a common yet often challenging task, especially if the model contains many parameters. Typically, algorithms get lost in regions of parameter space in which the model is unresponsive to changes in parameters, and one is left to make adjustments by hand. We explain this difficulty by interpreting the fitting process as a generalized interpolation ...
متن کاملWhy are clicks so exclusive ?
Clicks occur abundantly in the languages of southern Africa, but are not found anywhere else. This is unexpected since the clicks seem to be both auditorily salient and easy to produce. This paper suggests that the reason for the areal skewness of clicks lies in the African phonetictypological environment rather than in production or perception constraints. In particular, clicks are limited to ...
متن کاملWhy are the Unemployed So Unhappy? Evidence from Panel Data
The growing concern about the extent of joblessness in advanced Western economies is fuelled by the perception that the social costs of unemployment substantially exceed the costs of an economy operating below its potential. Rather, it is suspected that unemployment imposes an additional burden on the individual, a burden that might be referred to as the non-pecuniary cost of unemployment. Thos...
متن کاملWhy are the diagnosis and management of orofacial pain so challenging?
Pain is the primary reason patients visit a physician or dentist, and the diagnosis and management of pain in the face, mouth and jaws have been integral components of dental practice since dentistry became a widely recognized profession in the 19th century. Epidemiologic studies reveal that a large proportion of the population in many countries currently suffers from temporomandibular disorder...
متن کاملWhy Assembling Plant Genome Sequences Is So Challenging
In spite of the biological and economic importance of plants, relatively few plant species have been sequenced. Only the genome sequence of plants with relatively small genomes, most of them angiosperms, in particular eudicots, has been determined. The arrival of next-generation sequencing technologies has allowed the rapid and efficient development of new genomic resources for non-model or orp...
