Examples of alternation of generation in the following topics:
-
- Often, doing nothing is an alternative worthy of consideration.
- Making lists of possible combinations of actions can generate ideas that can be shaped into alternatives.
- When generating alternatives, decision makers use information gathered by defining the problem.
- The list of alternatives can then only be as good, complete, and accurate as the quality of that data.
- Overlooking factors or dimensions of an issue or problem can mean missing viable alternatives.
-
- Alternative methods of preparing a wide variety of organometallic compounds generally involve an exchange reaction in which a given metal is either moved to a new location or replaced by a new metal, which may include B, Al, Ti, V, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Ru, Pd, Sn, Pt, Hg & Pb.

- An alternative approach is block modeling.
- In principle, one could fit any sort of block model to actor-by-event incidence data.
- We will examine two models that ask meaningful (alternative) questions about the patterns of linkage between actors and events.
- Both of these models can be directly calculated in UCINET.
- Alternative block models, of course, could be fit to incidence data using more general block-modeling algorithms.
-
- An alternating series is an infinite series of the form $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\,a_n$ or $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n-1}\,a_n$ with $a_n > 0$ for all $n$.
- The signs of the general terms alternate between positive and negative.
- Like any series, an alternating series converges if and only if the associated sequence of partial sums converges.
- The first fourteen partial sums of the alternating harmonic series (black line segments) shown converging to the natural logarithm of 2 (red line).
- Describe the properties of an alternating series and the requirements for one to converge
-
- When a decision maker has successfully and accurately defined the problem and generated alternatives, he or she can then conduct analysis useful to evaluating and assessing each.
- A first step in analysis is identifying all the sources of data needed to understand the various alternatives and their potential outcomes.
- There are a few approaches that can be used to help structure the analysis and assessment of potential decision alternatives.
- A decision tree specifies alternatives visually and creates paths of subdecisions to be made or uncertainties to be considered in order to estimate the outcome of a given choice.
- This is a simple example of an influence diagram used to evaluate the alternatives of a decision.
-
- Generally, explicit rules are conscious creations and must be communicated and enforced.
- Orthodox, modern economic analysis is generally regarded as the study of alternative uses of resources to achieve objectives.
- An alternative perspective is; If the objectives of the market economy and planned economy were not the same it is not clear why the socialist system would want to replicate the outcomes of a market system.
- The perception of a self-interested individual is that the cost of an action or choice is greater than the benefit; it is not an appropriate alternative.
- Based on the objective, set of alternatives and the method of evaluation, the optimal or best alternative can be selected.
-
- The null hypothesis refers to a general or default position: that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena, or that a potential medical treatment has no effect.
- In the case of a scalar parameter, there are four principal types of alternative hypothesis:
- A one-tailed directional alternative hypothesis is concerned with the region of rejection for only one tail of the sampling distribution.
- A two-tailed directional alternative hypothesis is concerned with both regions of rejection of the sampling distribution.
- Modern statistical hypothesis testing accommodates this type of test, since the alternative hypothesis can be just the negation of the null hypothesis.
-
- Stress management resources aim to control or diminish a person's level of stress through both conventional and alternative methods.
- Stress management techniques provide a way to cope with stress and its symptoms to promote and maintain general well-being.
- There are several different approaches to the management of stress including conventional medicine, alternative medicine, and self-help therapies.
- Alternative methods of stress management have traditionally been popular in regions of the world outside of the United States, but they continue to gain influence in the Western world.
- Yoga is a popular alternative stress-management resource.
-
- Alternative medicine is any practice claiming to heal "that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine".
- Alternative medicine is frequently grouped with complementary medicine or integrative medicine, which, in general, refers to the same interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream techniques, under the umbrella term complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM.
- National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has developed one of the most widely used classification systems for the branches of complementary and alternative medicine.
- Integrative medicine is the combination of the practices and methods of alternative/complementary medicine with conventional medicine.
- Break down the various types of alternative medicine and how they fit into the health care system
-
- During the evaluation of alternatives stage, the consumer evaluates all the products available on a scale of particular attributes.
- Evaluation of alternatives is the third stage in the Consumer Buying Decision process.
- Unlike routine problem solving, extended or extensive problem solving comprises external research and the evaluation of alternatives.
- It is important to note that consumers evaluate alternatives in terms of the functional and psychological benefits that they offer.
- Examine the "evaluation of alternatives" stage of the Consumer Decision Process
