Precision
* computer program for statistical power analysis and confidence intervals.
* cutting in confined conditions is an important factor in tree maintenance.
* describes how close repeated measurements are to each other
  - values are to each other
  - the exactness of a measurement
* fuzzy concept.
* guided weapons have very little to do with the recreation of governmental infrastructures.
* involves the choice of apparatus and the skill with which it is used.
* is accuracy
  - an indication of how finely something is measured
  - another form of poetry
  - concerned with the number and accuracy of distinctions made by an instrument
  - everything in drag racing
  - fully awake integration of mind, heart, body and environment
  - how close replicate determinations are to each other
  - key in medical equipment
  - measured by analyzing duplicate samples
  - related to random error which causes random variation in the measurements made
  - the agreement among repeated measurements of the same quantity
* is the degree of exactness with which a quantity is expressed
  - to which a number of measurements are reproducible
  - heart of science
* is the key to making urethane products with the desired properties
  - storing two bits per cell
  - name of the game in radiation therapy, and millimeters count
  - number of images that are relevant against the number that are irrelevant
  - opposite of variation
* is the percentage of hits in a search that are about the desired resource
  - returned material that is actually relevant
  - proportion of the items found that are relevant to the search
  - term used in science to describe the reproducibility of a measurement
  - what creates energy and movement in a design
* measure of exactness
  - how many of the returned documents are indeed relevant
* measure of the degree to which a set of many values agree with each other
  - likelihood of chance effects leading to random errors
  - total variability in the results for any given benchmark
* quantitative concept.
* refers to how close a set of measurements are to each other
  - together a group of measurement actually are to each other
* refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other
  - multiple measurements of the same quantity cluster to one another
  - well a given measurement or results can be reproduced
* refers to the consistency in grouping of results in measurement
  - degree of preciseness of a measurement
  - number of digits displayed in the representation
  - reliability of the information extracted
  - repeatability of the readings
* relates to how closely measurements agree with the true value.
* represents the maximum departure of all readings from the mean value of the readings.
* specifies an instrument's ability to repeat a given measurement.
* way of life.
