Minimal example

This approach works well with simple data configurations (e.g., small self-contained data tables). Because industry standard formats are used, the risk of technical obsolescence is reduced and consequently the likelihood of archive migration minimized. Examples might include RTF rather than Microsoft Word 7 formats. Electronic records can also be stored as images (e.g., PDF format) although this increases storage volume requirements significantly. This method should not be used... 

A sequencing or scheduUng problem is described by a triplet a f y, where a describes the machine environment, fi the processing characteristics and constraints, and y the objective to be minimized. Examples of the possible (exclusive) entries in the a-field are ... 

The idea is that the examples of S are hypothesized to be of the minimal form, while the examples of S2 are hypothesized to be of the non-minimal form. Hence the partitioning into 2 sub-sequences, as we agreed upon a total of 2 forms. We call the elements of S the minimal examples, and the elements of 2 non-minimal examples. 

Task L Split into two complementary (but possibly empty) sub-sets and E", such that every example of is admissible wrt a = 0 and b= 1. The set E is relative the minimal examples of r n where Y is effectively constructed from all the constituents of X, while the set T," is relative the minimal examples of rtn where Y is not constructed from all the constituents of X ... 

Definition 13-1 Given a specification and a minimal form, a property-example is a minimal example that is a logical consequence of no property. 

Unfortunately, many commonly used methods for parameter estimation give only estimates for the parameters and no measures of their uncertainty. This is usually accomplished by calculation of the dependent variable at each experimental point, summation of the squared differences between the calculated and measured values, and adjustment of parameters to minimize this sum. Such methods routinely ignore errors in the measured independent variables. For example, in vapor-liquid equilibrium data reduction, errors in the liquid-phase mole fraction and temperature measurements are often assumed to be absent. The total pressure is calculated as a function of the estimated parameters, the measured temperature, and the measured liquid-phase mole fraction. 

In order to minimize the probe heating effect (measure disturber), the number of the measure points will be 80x80 (the sweeping time negatively influences the probes ), for example ... 

In this section, we will discuss general optimization methods. Our example is the geometry optimization problem, i.e., the minimization of (q). However, the results apply to electronic optimization as well. There are a number of usefiil monographs on the minimization of continuous, differentiable fimctions m many variables [6, 7]. 

The presence of this term can also introduce numerical inefficiency problems in the solution of Eq. (31). Since the ADT matrix U(qx ) is arbifiary, it can be chosen to make Eq. (31) have desirable properties that Eq. (15) does not possess. The parameter U(qx) can, for example, be chosen so as to automatically minimize W (Rx) relative to everywhere in internal... 

In applying minimal END to processes such as these, one finds that different initial conditions lead to different product channels. In Figure 1, we show a somewhat truncated time lapse picture of a typical trajectory that leads to abstraction. In this rendering, one of the hydrogens of NHaD" " is hidden. As an example of properties whose evolution can be depicted we display interatomic distances and atomic electronic charges. Obviously, one can similarly study the time dependence of various other properties during the reactive encounter. 

For example one forms, within a two-dimensional (2D) sub-Hilbert space, a 2x2 diabatic potential matrix, which is not single valued. This implies that the 2D transformation matrix yields an invalid diabatization and therefore the required dimension of the transformation matrix has to be at least three. The same applies to the size of the sub-Hilbert space, which also has to be at least three. In this section, we intend to discuss this type of problems. It also leads us to term the conditions for reaching the minimal relevant sub-Hilbert space as the necessary conditions for diabatization. ... 

The goal of linear regression is to adapt the values of the slope and of the intercept so that the line gives the best prediction of y from x. This is achieved by minimizing the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the points from the line. An example of linear regression is given in Figure 9-S.
