Civic friendship and a value assumption in Rawls.
… the original position carefully – controversial assumptions may prevent people from acknowledging it as the ideal position, undermining the argument to the original position. But the argument from the original position requires the parties to select principles of justice from among a slate of …

Measuring the Counter/Assumption Model's Effect on Argumentation Quality
… argumentation model called the Counter/Assumption model. In the Counter/Assumption model, a topic is posted first, then under that topic, reasons for and against, and for each reason, counterarguments, and for any counterargu- ment, more counterarguments. The model enables us to …

On the Implicit Assumption of the Equivalence of Responses
… response. Tests of these models relay on the assumption of the equivalence of these responses. That is, they assume that the only datum of interest about the reaction to the stimulus is the time required to begin the response. This implicit assumption was tested in a series of three …

Comparing k Population Means with No Assumption about the Variances
… common to assume equal variances along with the assumptions that the sample measurements are independent and normally distributed. Under these three assumptions, a likelihood ratio test is used to test for the difference in population means. Typically, the assumption of independence can be …

Testing adaptive market efficiency under the assumption of stochastic volatility
This dissertation explores the adaptive market hypothesis (AMH) first proposed by Lo (2004) which incorporates the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) of Malkiel and Fama (1970) and its behavioural exceptions. The AMH differs from the EMH, in that it assumes that the efficiency level of a market can …

Sensitivity of black carbon aging to modeling assumption in CAM-chem
Black carbon (BC) aerosol strongly absorbs visible light and therefore has a warming impact on climate. Quantifying this impact requires us to develop faithful model representations of its climate-relevant properties, such as CCN activity and optical properties. One key process that needs to be …

Divergence between the human state assumption and the actual aircraft system state
… as an inconsistency between the human operator's assumption of the system state and the actual state of the system, which is substantial enough to have consequential effects on the outcome of the situation. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the concept of divergence and develop a framework …

Fractal image compression and the self-affinity assumption : a stochastic signal modelling perspective

Akratic Homo Economicus: Does the Neoclassical Economic Theory "Rational Agent" Assumption Accurately Depict Human Nature?
